Secret Realm
Within my secret realm… this verdant pond,
Unknown to many of the townsfolk’s eyes
And by its ridges I meander long,
On through November nights, as hours drift by…
A quiver in the grass so evergreen;
When frosty breeze imbues a shimmer while
It mirrors younger times across its bends;
That only spellbound musings can recall
Fair autumns’ glaze among the silver trees.
How printed leaves descend in curved roulette
Then glide past my embroidered frock, I swirl;
A final chance to roam, to blow a wish
Caressing the ledge of my pond’s abode,
Before the white of snow enshrouds its charm.
