Encore
A rustling, muffled and faint sounds
Frolicking in a hushed breeze
To and fro, rhythmic in their bounds
Players in dance, emerald pixies
They bend in united glory
Snapping softly in passionate fury
A soft hand caresses my cheek
Elusive and slight as a dream
Through dazzling orbs I peek
To glimpse in awe at the filmy beams
Staining my breath, the earthy scent
Announcing such splendor and famed event
In all the simple grandeur
Blind bliss belittled no more
The wind served a savior
To green fingers, that so soar
Applause roaring from the heavens
My sweet escape, a life away, the gardens
The air, alive on my tongue
In fresh harmony, lustrous youth
Exquisite it flirted away the young
From the earth, dappled in truth
And in these clouds of fool's paradise
They committed their minds
Oh, such sweet price
-Alana Bellwood
