serenity

silken swirls of soft shadows
cling to her gossamer wings
as she stretches and soars
her secret flight
known only to the sunlight
that surreptitiously beckons her

the silent wood
her stalwart sanctuary
slowly
surprisingly
shares with her its strength
and she surrenders to her destiny

Faerie's Kiss

he touches her face
leaving faerie dust in her hair
the softness of his breath
warming her skin

silently he unfolds her wings
from their hiding place
behind her back
gently waking her to her true self
