I saw her walking through the fields
in the haze of nightfall’s gloaming,
a goddess fair with golden hair,
across the landscape roaming,
my pace quickened as I strode,
my heart began to race,
my only wish to reach her side,
to gaze upon her face,
while I took her in my arms,
to kiss her on the brow,
as I whispered “I’ll love you,
forever, that’s my vow.”
but then she topped a distant knoll,
and she was lost from sight,
by now my pace was at full run,
within I felt a fright.
I reached the crest of distant knoll,
I strained to see below,
but alas, my goddess gone,
in the mist of twilight’s glow.
I slowly walked down in the dell,
where flowed a crystal stream,
and sat upon a fallen log,
thought, was she just a dream?
then I espied within clear waters
the face of Terpsichore,
and heard her voice upon night’s breeze,
I’ll love you evermore.

Very cool imagery in this one, it kinda reminds me of Poe's "Annabel Lee"

Very nice write!

I know of crystal streams
and crystal springs...
you've penned a fountain of beauty, methinks.

Tucked away in my library...
with a little bit of starlight, shining.
