Shearing tantalized about the baste of magic
Rich the linger of an ever surge welled in moonlight
To be bathed, a resurrection of soul from dew and feather dust
Taken, as a leaf in autumn blush, grown rugged in the slight of past
But a spell to cast that takes the broken glass of hearts and glue
A sweet reticulated fondle, cared and cherished, sought and flourished
Entering the layers of sunset bestowed with colors of a final done
Turning to the right, along the equinox of second hands rerun
Wand of given grace along the curve of wisdom’s face
And low upon the belly to be painted in extraordinary trace
The wings of Monarch play and I am silk upon the speechless change

And what an astonishing spell is cast!  

"Taken, as a leaf in autumn blush, grown rugged in the slight of past
But a spell to cast that takes the broken glass of hearts and glue"

Magnificent imagery!

Incredible,  how you find such a blending
of words,  and create something such as
this,  such as these.
