Lighter To The Candle

Lighter to the candle
say's one must ignite
to hold crystal symbols
of dark prismatic light.

Doorway to illusion
lights path unknown
soft calm shadows bowing
as I dance fleetingly.

Reaching up hand skyward
lost with winged angel
one with life's delusions
I'm cast away alone.

Seeing age old visions
creep slow through phases
teen years beckoning me
as days erase my time.

Gloria, you did a very good job with this. Since I saw it from it's initial stages and now read the final results, I can honestly say that it is MUCH better now. It has a lot of depth and feeling to it. Nice work.

This is lovely.  I especially love the line "as days erase my time" - beautiful imagery.

Ooohhh, no fair!  Rosemary picked my fav line too!     "As days erase my time..."  WOW.  Fabulous here, and I think I can relate to this, with my 30th birthday not too far away!  hehehe  I know, not even close.
