Gizelle

In a white light
of organza glow
they come to me.

I see no face,
they wont reveal,
who can they be?.

I feel no fear,
only the peace
they radiate.

And the room,
becomes brighter
as they illuminate.

I can feel
their hands
upon my bed.

Their voices,
whispering,
in my head.

An unusual dialect
I've never heard.
Quite unknown.

But I feel
a seed has
been sown.

What message
have they
implanted.

Or is it,
magic that
they've granted.

The room dims,
as the unknown
whispers finish.

And they,
in the light,
diminish.

Eyes heavy,
as sleep
takes hold.

Deep the slumber,
in my dreams,
memories unfold.

I have a purpose,
a quest they
demand.

I am to obey
this whispered
command.

I am Gizelle,
water nymph
of the sea .

I am here to
set the
dolphins free.

I really enjoyed this poem, I didnt know whether it was Aliens, Ghosts or Angels visiting but whatever the case I really enjoyed it and it had an angelic feel to it... Well done.. regards Stuart

Hi again

Lyz, I like your poem and the images which I find hard to place, but which seems so vivid as I rest on my bed. Well done. T.

Thank you

I love your colorful pic and your write name reminds me of T. Rex. Loved the music of days gone by. LOL. You are not wrong about the images, I too had a hard time trying to work out just who they are. Thinking I may have them to be ancient Nymphs of all nature. Any way, welcome, hope you are well and thank you again. Love Lyz. XX

Dear Lyz

The best word for this piece is, enchanting. I loved the beautiful imagery. I was betting it was a host of fairies (sp?) that were visiting you! That would make sense, as today you are the fairy Queen! Always, Cat

Dear Cat

Thank you for your lovely comment. I am bad at endings and I could not make up my mind, I have a wood nymh statue and I named her Gizelle, so I thought, now you are water nymph.lol It was going to be a type of whimsical write, but it ended up not. Oh well. Thank you again and I hope to be reading a new poem of yours soon. Far and few between, leaving us salivating for more. Love to you and yours, Lyz, XX

I thought...

Aliens! Right up to the end! I am a proponet of the 'God' was an alien theory. Makes sense to me! Anyway, I like that you could keep us all guessing until the very end. Maybe you could do an alternate ending that that would leave it hanging altogether? Never lay claim in any arena. Just a thought. It was flawless! I can't pick it apart. It has that same quality that I have detected in a few others lately. You all are on the same wave length! OMG! They have gotten you too!LOL... Loved it! ~ Higger bugs and hugbugs to you, ~ Gee

Yes I agree Dear Gee

You all have gotten me. Lol. Love the comment and I have to mention, my estranged so called dad, never believed in God and up to his death, he believed he was going home to Aliens. I am glad you liked this. I am learning a little each time from all and I am loving it. I really think that lately every one has picked up their game and are writing so brilliantly, just on a grand scale. I am getting a sore throat and feel a little off but after reading this morning, I feel all nice and shiny. lol. Love to you and yours, Sir and Lady Gee, and thanks again, Love Lyz, XX

Definately enchanting

I am a sucker for story based poetry and love how this unfolded to unexpected results. Simple beautiful. I would bid you to consider reworking your use of commas here as many of them are unnecessary and a bit distracting from the unfolding drama you have presented. A small consequence to the beauty of this. ken

lyz

16 years 7 months ago

WooHoo

Glad you are back. Thanks for reading, yes I will check out the commas, old school, lol. I will catch up later, I am trying to get over this damn flu. Welcome, again, it is great to have you back and your beautiful poetry. Love to you and yours Lyz. XX

Idlemindwondering

16 years 7 months ago

Yes, It is

each night when I put my daughter to bed I give her a choice, a real story or a made up one. she always picks my imagination forcing me to create for her; tonight I told her of a girl who had a dream and woke beneath the sea the protector of dolphins. I left out the bedly visitations; I would like to make it through the night without scary dreams lol :-) still I thought you might like to know she loved it too.

lyz

Dear Ken

Glad to hear your dear baby girl loves story telling. We did the same for ours. Also I am glad you left out the ghostly visitors, lol. I wrote one about a little witch, which you might like to check out for her, it is not spooky. I do write for the kids here, only for special occasions though. It is morning here so I wish your daughter sweet dreams of sugarplum fairies and rainbow lollypops, love to you and yours. Thank you, Lyz. XX

I would appropriate any you

I would appropriate any you have she never likes the same story twice; which is very odd as I sing the same set of songs to her each night and she never asks for new ones.

Hey, What r u doin up, lol.

Lmao, you're not only a great poet but also a singer, and for your little one to ask for an encore, you must be talented. Lol. Dear girl, she sounds gorgeous. I love writing for children and watching their intent reactions on their dear little faces. You should put some of your stories on Neopoet. They may generate an interest. Love to you and yours, Lyz.

16 years 7 months ago

Hi

I thought it would be later, I am not into the different time zones, lol. You are a lovely dad, how special for her to see a meteor shower. She will love it. I just got a message from mine, a day later, to say she has arrived safely at her destination. We knew she would be fine, but I like her to confirm. Enjoy your evening and the 3am shower and get a pic of her face when she sees it, Love to you and yours, Lyz. XX

freeing dolphins

CBC was talking on the radio explaining how smart these mammals are I have never seen one in the ocean and havent been to a zoo in many years but they are beautiful creatures of God and deserve to have a place in the earthly garden of paradise

Hello dear friend

Sorry reply has been so long and thank you. I wish you could see them, you get transfixed with them. Here you can sometimes be lucky enough to see them or a Dolphin tour takes you out to see them playing, racing the boat and showing off. They are beautiful and they are so trustworthy of humans. Most anyway. Thank you and I agree with your comment. Catch you soon. Love to you and yours. Lyz. XX
