Magic Meadow

Magic Meadow – 7-26-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magic Meadow

Fantasy’s alchemy rises
 In words
Like black velvet from loam rich earth
A bouquet - 
 Birthed
  In ballads and barcarolles –
Grows
From stolen spells and visions
 The Snowthorn
          And
 Golden Elanor
When myth weaves magic
   Into fragrant crowns of phrases
Each petal, perfumed with inspiration,
Whispers
		A rainbow drenched celestial serenade
		        In a
			Mosaic made of legends forged by ivory stars 
Leaving
 Pure fire to play among purple
   Then grow from aromatic seeds
     Into 
  	Chimeras of fiery amber
 		And
	Bewitched onyx
  Scattered from the figments of its footsteps
   Into bonfires
    Of buzzing artistry
That drip enchanted dews of golden milk
 When minutes fade into metaphors
  For herbs of morning’s meadow
	Growing 
		From incantations of the moon.

The fragrance of magic rises,
  From the fertile alabaster woodland
   To bewitch 
    Newborn 
     Spellbound verses
      With crystal balms
As the meadow dwindles 
  Into shadows 
   In waiting
    For a nascent harvest
     To wander again among fantastical
      Star struck Magic.

Thank you so much, Crystol! There is an abundant meadow of inspiration that is just plain magic like the mystical, magic of pure grace and we, as writers, get to visit it every day to reap its harvest. Blessings and gratitude to you for your lovely compliments.

Your poetic talent is ever present Sam. You have created a gem, 'The fragrance of magic rises, From the fertile alabaster woodland' ..............'Bewitched onyx, scattered from the figments of its footsteps, Into bonfires,of buzzing artistry'. Had to read your poem carefully a second time, loved it. Blessings, Jennifer
