Music golden to send aloft
jeweled only to the listener
held upon a feather soft a
spirit lifted of the bearer

Glistening tendrils of curly hair twisting as tender grape vines framing her face as sleep overcomes pulling at eyes and lashes bringing dreams beneath the moon a silver sliver of light spilling across a smiling face taking her running across sun drenched fields of wild flowers where serenity is never an illusion but life’s continuing answer to Spirit’s dancing
music a soul’s peaceful step’s journeying

Spirit Dancer: Native American Indians perform ceremonial dances (originally during the Winter months) to personify their respective guardian Spirits and participants dress in costumes that represent  those Spirits, for example a Bear, Wolf, or Eagle and others.
Fireflies in a night sky
beheld by two sparkling eyes
Butterflies drift on the air
small paws to capture there
tall grass to seek its’ prey
all within the light of day
cardboard boxes to hide in
now a lion’s lair and den
