Nette Onclaud Poet Light Verse

Call My Name

The whisper of dawn calls my name
gliding like a softly-bathed air: tangy
and afloat with a spice of mint 
in christened pools   lithely buoyant.
A path of upturned twigs rip free
to sail along bobs of peppered dew;
dewy in a way new sunrise adorns
pastel fingers where wings of ray
become intricate as it is daring ; calling
forth, 'Daughter of Light'..."Light's Daughter"
till the fragrance of earth   winds
huffs upon morn's sweet delicacy ,

bearing my mythical seal  upon gracious earth.
