Beauty sleeps in her word tower
Permeates the world with deep dark dreams,
Magical illusions built bit/by/bit
Spell/by/spell--pieces of written word
Concisely engraved in time;
Lyrical musings tightly constructed
Soar down rocky inclines--
Blow in sudden still winds
Out of reach of mortal minds;
Those who can--only sit and weep,
Know that they missed something
As the flow of words sail by--
Voiceless echoes spread
Across the ancient lands
Carelessly distorting time
To slip pass hands that futilely grasp,
As the raging thoughts soars in space;
They who can--only numbly sit
Stare in awe at the sleeping mind--
(Word goddess stroking rhyme)
Beware--lest the beauty awakes
Banishing the worlds she creates
Forever, in the misty illusions of her mind.

Tongue very firmly in cheek on this one I thought. I liked the image of this great word-weaver. It sounded like the words were coming down on the hapless heads of the populace in this word-wonder-land!

Some magical poetry weaved here. I loved it.
