Ariel

From my mundane mezzanine I peer into the waning light, 
My charcoal heart yearning to ignite 

As the sinking sun seeps gold and red upon the wooded crown
I feel as if the last day of my life is slowly winding down

Somehow I know the walls that separate all worlds shimmer and grow weak
When  fiery Sol leans down and kisses Terra’s sweet and fertile cheek

A mad man’s quest I tell myself as I watch shadows spread across the forest floor
And I but a childish man drunk on myth and half forgotten lore

Was then I saw a flash of white appear and drift up into a leafy bough
A phantom draped in silver mist had crossed the gulf somehow

At once my heart fluttered and flew out like a bird freed from my prison chest
Was then I knew an unseen door had opened to Ariel’s bright unearthly crest 

Aflame with childlike glee I leapt from my porch and ran wildly toward the trees
And as I raced a fawn like angel fluttered down, her beauty buckled both my knees 

Blue diamond eyes smiling through a shimmering fall of golden sunlight tresses
All my longings hopes and needs her presence so sweetly now addresses 

With tilted head and timid smile she glides to me and takes my trembling hand
Then off we fly through burning sky to Ariel to that fabled silver strand
