Cast in the shadow of Seven

I fell past the veils
of seven blue moons
in dreams of saffron
my line will lay soon

the miniature moments
I bottled and capped
line all the walls
in satin are wrapped

I pulled them all down
and fill up the spa
I soak in minutes
bathing in awe

In remembering times
that glowed with joy,
I am filled with a fire
and power deploys

it fills up the spaces
that grew over time,
stopped all the clocks
as divined in a rhyme

I turn the enchantress
and cast out my spell,
this dream is magic
but no harm will befell

as the threads of time
start to pass your head,
don't let your stomach
fill right up with dread

I pressed this magic
from the whitest flowers,
and mix it with myrrh
dusting the book of hours

a vial of brightness
I smear on the night
a spray of sparkles
now flow on the light

now let your mind go
you have nothing to fear
this is the dreamtime
and nothings real here

when seven blue moons
shine in the sky,
look to those orbs
and you might see me fly

Ah, she knows now, lol.

And to find this today, you must have known I needed a bit of special attention. How lovely of you dear Empress, The Enchantress of The Pen. Lol. I am so pleased she has finally began to work for you. I am enthralled, and no, not because it was for me, but because you have written this in pure perfection, and yes, I cried. All the pressure of late has come to a head and this beauty has made me feel that it is all worth it. Seven blue moons, ah, how delicious. Let the witching hour begin, lol. You are truly a magical creature, put here to never let us forget, magic does exist. And to bathe in all those special ingredients does sound blissful. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and may you always enchant dear Aunty Jayne, Empress Enchantress Of The pen. Thank you my dear friend. Always, Lyz. XX
