contest...A Magical Journey sponsor Constance La France

I hold three magic rocks in my hand
rolling them over and over and over
leaving this reality behind, far behind
dreams begin, I seek the farthest hill
wrapped in clouds, surrounded by eagles
    seeking to reach the sea
on the wings of imagination...it's there
    I'll find Juliana
the face of beauty in my dreams
waiting on the shore, her back to the horizon
searching her fantasy world
of perpetual sunrise and rainbows
where butterflies float on sea air above 
    her voice calling to me
on haunting winds across snow-covered mountains
with my wings, I fly above the clouds
to reach the sea, where Juliana patiently waits
her arms outstretched to hold me captive
promising warm sensations of welcome
the light in her eyes will draw me in
and we'll melt into each other's arms
    so the world can bloom
as we dance beneath the rising sun
her sheer dress wrapping around us
as we spin into a blissful kiss
allowing waves to caress our feet
    dancing in the sand
creating a memory to hold that seems real
I reach out as Juliana begins to vanish
her outstretched arms the last vision seen
she never said goodbye, and neither did my heart
when my eyes opened, Juliana was gone
and the three magic rocks were still in my hand
tomorrow, I'll watch the sunrise and dream of Juliana

Frederic, dear friend, dear poet, what captivating power lies within the alluring, bittersweet beauty of your verse. Your tender, vivid imagery brings me to the center of this dream where Juliana vanishes from the scene like sand through fingers. The musical accompaniment, with it's enchanting lilt is perfect for the poignant ambience of your wistful poem. Amazing, my dear friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Susan, dear friend, dear poet, I am honored by the kindness of your words. Sand through fingers, wished I had thought of that when writing. The enchantment is mine from your gracious words. Thank you, dear friend...Frederic

This is haunting - sometimes we look and see the face we cannot let go.
