Spirit Dancing

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.

Small Paws

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
