Enchanted Pool

 

I, Wide eyed beneath an ancient quercus tree

Close by that mystic purple faery pool

In green, glade surrounded dancing ring

Trail fingers ‘tween shimmering reflections

Peaceful, watch echo-ripples vibrate back.

Dream here at your peril, sleep enchanted

When full moon rising wakes old oak magic

Loves lost, hopes dashed, fears fled from mem’rys store.

Wander awestruck down remembered pathways

Wend meandering reminiscent ways

All paths in that cool forest faery realm

Lead hither to this still enchanted place.

Strive dreamfully to wake, escape eludes

Until sleep ends, dawn breaks magical embrace.
