I Felt Something Magical Coming

I felt your aura arrive days before you did; the sun shone brighter than she ever had. She pranced in the garden, streaking the flowers, adoring the faeries, lifting my soul. Something is about, I thought. Something magical. Not knowing it was you. I knew it would be wonderful, maybe a new renegade tree or a beautiful twilight? I never dreamed it was a man. It did not occur to me. My animals and gardens were my meat and my refreshment. I was satisfied, in my meadows and my forest. At first I thought you were arrogant; winking at me in front of my parents. My Daddy thought it was funny. My mother knew. I had been winked at a long time ago By a betrayer, a liar, a thief. I was not fair, for you reminded me of him. It was not easy but you changed my schemata. You softened my hardened heart. Through kindness, talents and an open soul your honesty and truth spoke to my soul. You won me over so completely that my family thought I had been bewitched. I was the one who would never give another man a chance. You were the candle that illuminated me and brought my light back into my laugh and my heart smiled.
