Serendipity

And there it was
in all its glory…

Magical
glowing
in endless motion

graciously
lazily
putting on a show
just for me

content with my admiration
hypnotizing me
drawing me in
enchanting
in sync with my soul

communicating
somehow
a message
of love and peace
of harmony

entranced
time magically
standing still

Ohhh Line, such an enchanting read. I had a lava lamp in the 60's and it was considered rather chic at the time, as they had only just arrived and I remember feeling exactly like your poetic words as I watched for the first time ~ I can see it now in my mind's eye . Many congratulations on your win in Brian's contest.with love and hugs Ann xx

I have three lava lamps, they are all the newest, but not nearly as pretty as the originals. To me they are all magical as is your poem, Line.
