as wind blows through my window, luring me
to step outside into black velvet’s night.

I search the sky,...

The tiniest bird, but bravest of all
He flits about without saying a word,
When most unexpected he comes to call
Fluttering gossamer...

In sunny mist, a twilight stream,
She laughs and frolics as in a...

Breezes rock the park - a soft sway of sun.
They are rosebud-faced, floral lace-swaddled,

Skimming down and darting up

hope and joy 
sprinkled liberally
in generous amounts

butterfly magic juice
summer holiday shine
dragon flits mercifully

teasing the honeybees

faeries tiny secrets

sublimity...
