I am average.
But I can catch a star and hold it before your eyes,
and the glow will blind you,
as will what you can see in my eyes,
stars
brilliance.

I am average.
but I can take mere words
and weave them into
a magicians charm to enthrall,
poetry
eloquence.

I am average.
but I can take your soul higher than it has ever been
or would hope to be
wrap it in gossamer
a shield
protecting.

I am average.

WOW again, keep writing Seraphin and I'll keep reading

I love the way your words capture me and I am stuck, unable to take my eyes of.... Wonderful!
