The Dancing Nymph

She is the sylphic stream
     and the flow spinning 
        her sequined sarong 
    through gleaming fields
           as she weaves
           endless reveries
           nebulous and lithe
            ripples  leaves
           with her rhythmic
            untamed grace
       omnipresent and fluid
         diffused in ambience
            joyful teasing
                pulse that
                glitters in
               silver stars
                 she is the 
             sanguine song
                that lights
             a doting heart

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
