A Brand New Day

By Katie 2002



Sapphire silk slips from my hands

Silently like grains of sand

I try to grasp but I cannot reach

All the knowledge there is to teach

Mist creeps upon my windowsill

Stirring dreams I wish to fulfill

Ferns and lilies tickle the terrain

Soft and gentle as a lions mane

Heavens angels willfully cry for me

To soak the earth for plants and beasts

One horned horses dance on display

While trolls and elves marvel and gaze

The sun lets down its golden locks

And whispers to a snow white fox

He then smiles with a toothy grin

Even snow white he is black as sin

A wise man then comes unannounced

The trees quiver and echoes shout

He is here, here at last

Squirrels speak softly and I gasp

Suddenly there is a knock at my door

The great one is here and looks to be poor

A pleasant greeting slips from his lips

As I twist a napkin that secretly rips

The honored one sits tired and torn

Unshaven and dirty the animals scorn

I ask what is the future, what is to be

He says he has come for the chosen and the chosen is me

Abruptly I am taken back by all this mystery

This is strange, this is odd, almost like a fantasy

I have till sunset to decide my destiny

I tilt my head and squint my eyes

While parting my hair to let my antennas rise

As the sun begins to sink into the soil

Thoughts and fears begin to boil

The last yellow rays fall behind a hill

He looks to me and I say I will

He touches my arm and takes me away

With a promise of a brand new day

Very nice, great write!!!

A goodie for sure!

Nicely Written.

Thank you all for stopping by!
