It

      It dances deep in tranquil eyes
    from velvet plumes of ether's calm
          as soft as alabaster skies

      It softly sings an ancient psalm
     rewritten when the moon invites
        in lavender of evening balm

   It gently blooms with conscious slight
 in zephyred streams of fragrant dreams 
    as lilacs waft the night towards light

   Upon the page, untraced it streams
 It dwells between the words – it seems

David, I find a whimsical metaphor for the muse playing hide and seek in the flowered scent of this nicely composed "Terza Rima". Thanks for entering the contest.
