it was as if

dusk arising



 

It was as if i had wings
and to fly, this wonderous flight
through enchantment's
night forest of peaceful content,
lifted upon translucent double wings.

I see myself, as I, ..out of body,
follow this flight through wonderland
amid cool friendliness of majestic elders.
Whispering, encouraging, reassuring
a cool airy creation of serene peace.

         And now,
         aside a darkness of moon glazed lake
         my winged lover reaches, a momentary embrace,
         where a kiss of forever's promise dances upon our lips
         turning to a joyous smile, then gone! are her impish eyes
         and so teased by nymph agility I chase her delight,
         low across the glaze, to our isle of promise.

Turning now beneath a quilt
of softening comfort,
peace eases me again
into the depths of slumber.
The reassurance of passion
becalmed my beating wings.

         As jealously the forest waits.

    This wonderful verse of personified nymphs as they meet and mate on the wing left me whispering sighs of imagined joy at their delight - you have such a way with tales my friend.
