Day 360 - The Angel's View

Well far out and away

Are the places the angels used to stay

The mists would lift their wings higher

Riding the winds like a horseman his sire

The deepest of the angels were the seraphim

In the blackest of night, they make the stars gleam

The true blue angels with loyalties to match

Dance about the clouds with dreams to catch

They throw the dreams down to messengers of a lighter shade

Who then put the dreams in our minds to later fade

Those who dare to perch on the buildings man creates

Spin the threads that each our destinies elevates

And the final in golden rays high up above

Those angels send down the showers of who we love

Day 358 - Recipe for a Rainbow

The icicles freeze like the dreams we never complete

They stop like the casual clapping off beat

The frozen calls Time to examine itself

Like the wise and ever immortal elf

The points they build up between seasons life

They point to the ground as sharp as a knife

With a magic they keep to shied this space

If you look closely there is a shimmering about this place

The glistening poetry that bends and glows

Comes with the recipe of sunlight, crystal and snows

It is the blessing of the dancing rainbows

Day 355 - Fairy Lit

Well the evening was pulled together

Darkness fell as soft as a feather

Then the fairies of the season appeared

Upon the snow covered homes, with roofs tiered

They flitted up to the stars high above

And painted acrostics in them with love

"Jolliness always meet you here"

"Over the rainbow, is rather near"

"You are the weaver of your dreams"

They brushed in light with stars for seams

At last it was true for each girl and boy

The night sky was lit with joy

Day 347 - Twice Upon a Time

Twice upon a frozen eve

Fairies sparkled dust high and low

Inspiring each of us to believe

In the magic of a brilliant snow

That keeps our sweetest dreams saved

In frozen icicles of protection

Such an adventure always braved

By those who call upon nature's perfection

How strongly in the glistening world I believe

On this the glowing, enchanted eve

Day 343 - Wishing Wall

If I could just click my heels together

And disappear off to a dream land

All the world would fade for this moment of forever

I could be the singer of every band

The painter of every canvas

Defenders of the great and small

The keeper of every kiss

So that is what I ask you for wishing wall

One day years later he came walking on by

And saw all wishes that I made once upon a time

He saw the ones painted as blue as the sky

The words that only came out in rhyme

He added to them and became the giver

Of the kisses I always hoped for, wishing wall

His smiles and rhymes make me happily shiver

Nowadays we show you to our children so small

And they each add pictures to you with wishes all their own

They will do the same with their children when they are grown

Day 342 - Through the Door

Through this tunnel on the other side

There be wonders too great to hide

Even along this secret space's walls

Are the echoes of a thousand calls

To come and adventure the tastes of joy

To grow up from a man into a boy

To dance until youth spreads its bright wings

At the end of this tunnel are wondrous things

Day 295 - Lines in the Air

Follow that line into oblivion

We can travel anywhere

Somewhere no one else has found

We can walk off until the horizon shrinks

Because we have met a corner of the world

We made it all the way to the top

Of this sphere that is always turning

And the tiny icicle like clouds

They are each filled to the brim (and beyond

Their fluffy borders), with magic undiscovered

Today someone set the world afire

And burned our memories with beauty

That is inconceivable except

To those who have gazed into your eyes

That are emerald majesty, deeper than any ocean

We met with the crossroads of life

And watched as the world sped about

All in a hurry to go somewhere else

But you and I sat happily in the moment

As we took another breath and

Looking heavenward we stared in awe

As some fanfare of wonder sounded

Blessing those who took the moment to hear it

Lines of music paper crossing the skies

To impress tunes here and beyond

Day 287 - Extraordinary

A vibrant cataclysm of color greets my memory

In the scene of reflections we flee from

Rushing across the sky of clouds

To a fantastic illuminating hum

The blades of grass push away daisies

To make fields greener if only for this instant

Begging you to run through them barefoot

To inhale the evergreen wonders of mint

The sun glances off a tiny sliver of glass

Shielding your vessel with intelligence

Pulling things from this reality far away

Across the ivy embraced plane fence

There is the faded but ever sharp warning

"Objects may be closer than they appear"

But that is simply the life we live

Nothing is ever caged enough to be crystal clear

Day 276 - Showering Silver

Pour silver from the heavens here

Magic to revive the whispering creek

Wisdom with a message so clear

The stones themselves seem to speak

Of secrets from the era of unicorns

Ages of kings announced by fanfares of horns

The riches found here are liquid desires

Soaking melodies of flute playing bards

Until they spin tales over the fires

Which glisten like a billion shimmering shards

As silver pours from the sun's embrace

Across this sacred enchanted place

Day 261 - Queen of the Stars

Elvish delight in my graceful frame

Kelina is my earth given name

For my name from the stars is so bright

The mere sound would keep you awake all night

A thousand composers could forever sit

Hoping to create music that would master it

Only to find this impossible

Even with every note pure and full

You may call me a ghost but that would be wrong

I am the beginning and end, all music in song

I am the muse they cannot release

Without my existence, imagination would cease

I am beyond what a story said once long ago

Black as ash at times, I enter as white as snow

For here in this place you call that pure

So white I am for this planetary tour

This is just a freeze frame in a dream

I am much more than here I seem

I am the black surrounding my body

And the whispering in the tree

I am all that one may view near and far

I am even you, and also that distant star

Day 222 - Water Women

Lay me down in the waters.

You see there is the space

For the procession of daughters

Whether dark or fair of face.

The ritual you dream of at midnight

Is only minutes away.

For nothing is more out of sight

Than a procession in midday.

The swirling skirts of mystery

Will rustle against the rocks

Praising past instances in history;

Weeping at the memory of pox

Every instant is passed down here

That ever happened to a woman

Ever searching for the incoming seer

Are they, to save the future of their kin

You will not spy them, though

Just see the ripples as they enter

And there away they shall go

In and out of the universe's center.

Day 165 - Princess of Memory

Within golden locks of yesteryear

Sit the quiet mystery of joys gone by

Shadowed in melodies we no longer hear

Breathing the final eternal sigh

Out into the ethers of the the sky's eternity

In the blue of your eyes it is all that I see

Speaking upon moments that fade into time

In swirling mists and pale soft skin

As white and gentle as the powdered mime

Who in the box must always begin

Yet somehow she spins him out and far away

Upon the winds of things they have yet to say

Many a story was created in her light

That once never meant quite the same thing

All beyond our own far too human sight

She to the center of all life must bring

The imaginary moments she holds in a chest

Of gold and medallions and all of the best

Day 136 - A Little Magic

If I could just have a breath of fresh air

Swirl fairy dust into my dark hair

I could soar on a breeze of rest

Feeling at last I was my very best

But here I sit awaiting such luck

Because ultimately I feel stuck

In the picture frame mid-stride

Going nowhere and wanting to hide

Because what if the fairy dust isn't meant for me?

Then what will my life turn out to be?

I just need that little ounce of magic

For now I feel incomplete and tragic

Day 111 - Make a Wish

Make A Wish

Right now, this moment, eleventyone

Showers upon the times just begun

And those which live on in memory

Painting the skies as far as we can see

Stars shed light as fires so old

Tinting the world in a soft gold

Make a wish on the light or star

Know that dreams travel near and far

Time cannot wait, but we can catch it

When in golden times we do not sit

But rather wish, hope, heal and pray

Watching the happy and sad shadows play

Make a wish in this moment about to end

The sacred and calming, laughing friend

Right now, this moment, eleventyone

Shines as brilliant as an infinite sun

Day 69 - Magic Garden

Magic Garden

The path that twists around this bend

Greets the sprites to join and dance

Calling quietly out to each friend

Laughing with the cupids of romance

There is magic in this quiet place

Speeding up the growing pace

If you listen you can heard the sound

A rustle as the ivy climbs the stone

Twisting and twirling tightly bound

Nature's breath in this particular tone

And in the reviving happy green

All the small garden gnomes are seen

Day 24 - Just Beyond the Door

Smiling secrets hide behind solid oak

Crafted by the elegant elven folk

Within the brass is sturdy heart

Knocking with this piece can cause a start

If you dare enter there is much to see

A world beyond the imagination of you and me

So the door stops us before we enter

Bringing us to meditation at the center

Of our beings that long to explore

We need so much more than we dare ask for

Brass gazes at us almost smiling

It has a face that is playfully beguiling

It sends a message you word rather ignore

All hidden behind this mighty oak door

Do not ask for what you know you need not

Otherwise within their mysteries you will be caught

The elven folk play a silent game of chivalry

Weaving it all into silver tongued clarity

But alas we mere mortals shall never know

How far the world behind this door can go

Day 19 - Orb of Love

Orb of Love

I am trapped in the orb do you see?

The brilliant which will not set me free

So I gaze out lost to the earth

Long ago I forgot dreams of rebirth

Now I simply gaze as it all goes by

Love and loss give the living wings to fly

But at last they sit in comfort here once more

Keeping the moment quiet, with a closed door

They do not take a second glance

Just live lives of boredom, or romance

I do not make them think twice

That is how I pay the price

I loved my sorceress, heart and soul

But they turned her black as coal

The day they gazed into our life

Is the day I lost my wife

She spent hours with potions and smoke

I still loved her even when it made me choke

She had the right reasons after all

She was my angel, for whom I sit on the wall

She could not bear if I were to die

So I stay here, eternally I lie

I am immortal or so she can believe

I died the day her last breath did leave

But she had the glory of going above

I stayed right here for our love

I never begrudge her requesting this

Only her embrace and sweet face do I miss

My witch she was one who held everything

Now in my flat ears her voice can ring

But alone here I know, no one knew her

I am her final touch of her art and anger

Left to gaze upon the ceiling

No longer to the stars with feeling

All that remains is my painting

And the endless silent waiting

Day 12 - Fairy Forest

Fairy Forest

Magic mysteries swirl through this quiet space

Through the crunch and sprawled leafy resting place

Fairies leap from limb to limb gracefully

Spying the secrets that grow here beautifully

Back behind us lie many a dry leaf

Carpeting a spindly fortress on the regal fief

That hold nightly balls under the moon

Glistening dew will be coming so soon

Wands whine to be blessed with simple use

Just perhaps as a light, instead of a fuse

Leaves smile happily on this forest floor

Whispering hints of ancient lore

All we hope to find in a fantasy and a fairy queen

Is in this completely wondrous scene

Just remember the sweet flute piping scene

Just remember the sweet flute piping tune

And all that comes alive under the silvery moon
