Night Magic

Hidden amongst layered drapes of velvet
That wrap the night in deep hues of blue
They dance about in joyous abandon
Amongst the settling drops of dew

They are daughters of the moon
Illuminated by its breath pale light
Beauteous as fairies of the evening mist
Ethereal and Fair and Bright

Their hearts are filled with lunar magic
Bursting forth as if a solar flare
Cascading in a rain of shimmering starlight
Drawing other ethereal creatures near

And they frolic amongst the draping ferns
As if impish little sprites
Laughter rings as singing wind chimes
A stirring Nocturne embracing night

The stars above waltz and wink
Inspired by the dream sired tunes
And even I believe I hear a sigh
Softly sounded by their mother Moon

Then when wearied by their night born fete
Of reveling in the gift of life and breath
They lay their heads upon petals soft
Wrapped in the arms of a new dawn’s rest

S.A.T.

The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart.

I am humbled by the eloquence and deftness of your text.  The structure is sound, and the images contained are exquisite.  This is simply a masterpiece.  Not a word should ever be changed.  This is a keeper.  Your talent should quench the thirst of many a published page.  

Also, many thanks for the kind replies I have received from you on my posts.  They are well received and appreciated.

Warm regards and solidarity,

Kevin

Sun,
  I was thinking on the same lines as Kevo when I read this.  I was thinking that this poetess had a special talent, one that could be published with the rest of the greats.
Enjoyed your spirit.

I certainly enjoyed this,  flowing so
smoothly from line to line....so vivid
the images...might they have a pillow
that one might take just a wee bit of
a nap??

Well Done...
