The Shadow of a peacock

The peacock of myth and legend
Hangs on the branches of life
He whispers to spirits of nature
And sips in the blood of time
Holding mysteries in his crest
His feather’s eye tells of the future
He glides with majestic grace
As he calls to the winds of life

The peacock of lore and dreams
Remains on the window sill of creativity
He hums to the hearts of desire
And inhales the wine of inspiration
Embracing secrets in his eyes
His fringe tells of the past
He becomes a shadow on the tree of memory
As he clings to the soul of a poet
