Premiere Contest WinnerMy Inspiration

Not of this earth
nor of the heavens,
Not mortal nor eternal,
She is the essence of a fiction
The theme for a song
She is a mirage for the wayfarer
An echo for the lost lover
She dwells in chimera
She walks a labyrinthine path,
She’s the aroma of blossoming flowers
swaying and dancing in the wind,
She appears with the morning mist
and hitch-hikes on a passing breeze.  

Beyond mortal beauty and radiance
She enchants me with her elegance,
ethereal magnificence and poise
bestowing me with a Kumbaya moment
of perfect harmony with nature--

Unabashed she comes into my life
until now laden with sorrow and strife.
