mythical demise
by Michele Schottelkorbthe angel weeps softly
amidst the rain
the faerie does his best
to swallow the pain
the dragon sets aglow
tattered branches of old
the gargoyle feigns a smile
for memories turned cold
the elf just cries
crystal tears of sadness
the unicorn is bewildered
by the lack of gladness
the leprechaun jumps
but there is no joy
the sprite still flies
yet, without her toy
the pegasus just stands
staring at sick clouds
the gnome cannot see
as the darkness abounds
what, pray tell
has happened here?
imagination faded
with one small tear
would you, could you
heal this place?
it takes just one wish
from one smiling face 04/23/2003 Posted on 04/24/2003

from one smiling face' You said this so beautifully. A positive wish and a smile, both vibrations with a positive charge.
