Arriving back into her realm The only thing bright in her den Was the now familiar Bells of Ireland. She closed the door with a hip toss Sitting in momentary bewilderment Her admirer no secret..just illusory? Fiddling the card with magician fingers It was real...Was she real? What is real? She tasted an uneasy invasion of her home..her life..her familiarity She had drawn the curtains years ago Choosing pen in her private pillory Not a phone call, a friendly outing. Her nights shadowed by the company of a single candlelit flame...her own. Music.. her only channel to another voice She began her story of Lugh..in loneliness Simply from intrigue of mythology’s charm. Her only other nesting place of comfort Was within the Library’s whisper of old books She began to cry..Achingly missing her mother.. Her vine..Her vibrant Shine of scented lavender..Seeping through Like the stain of spirits..Unbearably She flung herself about the room in Madness! Grabbing the tiebacks and stripping velvet from the heavily guarded window panes. Burning in the light rays, surrendering Room to room she bloomed in glory’s plight Drapes landing in tattered piles Floor to ceiling they opened in Topaz Streaking the hardwood floors in rapture She wailed and screamed and brandished a dance across the sunbeams flash As if it were water falling into her striking her with renewal, anointing She was “Singing in the rain” of sunshine Leaping up into the window seat and pressing her body to naked glass. She palmed it. Introducing herself to the world...Her Lugh. |

Regina, this series is simply "unreal" and I can't believe I am first as she introduced Lugh to the world through your eyes. Magnificant! Try giving your smile to someone who does not have one, and I bet you'll find another ~*~ Mysteria ~*~ |

This is better than any book [forgive me, JanetMarie] as there is that feel of real...how many of us, man OR woman, has not ached thus? Her reach for the light is spectacular....and I will continue to watch her growth, for it is time, then, that she produce her own vine... thank you for this, Regina...you do Passions proud! |
