Shards of Lace

Her beauty shines in waters still,
Where ne’er a ripple disturb,
A whispered prayer seeks her will.

Her light reflects upon the ground,
In shards of latticed silver lace,
She lands without the lightest sound.

She dances on the earth awhile,
With barely moving slender feet,
She graces love with beauty’s smile.

Within the darkness of the night
For love, she’ll cast her witch’s spell,
And thus release the soul to flight.
