Perfection
A gentle place
As rare as silver eyes
Most would call folly to seek
While a special few would offer
Lives and Souls
For just a peek
---------------------------
A gentle place
As mutable as quicksilver
As ephemeral as the will-o-wisp
Many-shaped
Even for one
A babbling Byzantine Brook
Impossible island in a luminous lake
Dusty desert dunes capped by opulent oases
Florid forests of flitting faerie folk
Or a moment with you,
Souls-bare and eyes wide
As rare as silver eyes
Most would call folly to seek
While a special few would offer
Lives and Souls
For just a peek
