Magic in the Water
An old Friend's Poem," one of her best "
Crystaline water
cleanse my cluttered mind
weaving your coarse
leave the chaos behind
Riparian retreat
where willows embrace
finger leaf trails
shows a rippling trace
In mirrored depths
your secrets abide
the predators hunt
the hunted, hide
Amorphous shadows
neath diaphonous stream
caught for a moment
by incandescent sunbeam
Prowling predator
a solitary pike
in the margins, motionless
an ambush, ready to strike!
Kingfisher flashes
dives from a branch
flamboyant feathers,
reflected, enhanced
Emperor dragonflies
hover and dart
wings of gauze
fragile work of art
Their bejewelled regalia
a delight to the eye
consuming their prey
while they fly
Hymalayan Balsam
an alien invasion
disperse their seeds
in violent expulsion
In columbine's petticoats
bees rest their wings
Beware! Gargantuan hogweed
fiendishly delivers poisonous stings
Narcissus In love
with his own reflection
deaf ears to the cries
of Echoes affection
As the sun disappears
amber ambience fades
stream is now drenched
in moonlit, monochrome shades
Noctule and Daubentons
flying aqua-bats
gorging and feasting
on a myriad of gnats
Around the bole of a tree
hangs a spectral blue mist
names carved in its heart
where two lovers first kissed
Inky black waters
casting silvery light
where Naiads ride Kelpies
an ephemeral sight
In healing waters
bloodline ancestors believed
ancient folklore has cast magic
to sustain our spiritual need.
