Entry Title: A Friend All Along

Entry:

The floating lights
like an eery friend
on these lonely nights
bringing comfort, in the end.

For so long I had thought
'Twas some lost spirit gone astray
But a dear friend had followed,
by my side he wished to stay.

Now that I know
who it is that follows me 'til daybreak
I won't feel lonely as I go
with them trailing in my wake.
16265.png ____ A note from Lón:

"During the festivities last year, my dear familiar Lumen wrote me a poem of his own, and this year I want to write one for him in return. I hadn't realised the lights that trailed me at night were Lumen until one of my friends, who hails from the Tangled Wood, pointed it out. I felt a little bad that I didn't know more about Wispwillow Perytons, or I would have known sooner, but I was very happy with the discovery anyway."

Bright as the dayspring;
sweet gold found by eyes ever keen.
I bound over the little green hill
to part my jaws and drink my fill

of the summer again.
O, how the slim branches bend!

Woe begone with the first eager taste
of nectar hidden behind fine natural lace.
Now merry with sugar-flower glee,
I lift my face to the sun and I sing!

Entry:
If you think hard enough, there is a sky
Right before your very eyes.
A vast, unthinkable thing — and right before your touch!
It’s a shame you can’t reach it.
One more greeting — is that asking for too much?

If you think hard enough— well, it’s a miracle
You can even think of her clearly at all.
A blurry mirage of something you let go,
It’s better that way.
Hard to convince yourself, though.

If you think hard enough, you can remember
The taste of her- just her, wholly, her.
A fleeting taste, one that almost seems fake,
Like a breath,
Or maybe an ache.

Entry:

I was digging up worms in the garden,
I was watching the caterpillars climb and crawl.
As a butterfly whispers close beside me, I wonder

What is it like to be drunk on citrus and sugar water?
To dance across the sky with every wingbeat, every breath.
Perhaps because your life is so fragile,
You want to make each moment beautiful.

Today, I nurtured the flowers
And gave a parched butterfly some sugar water,
Perhaps a taste of heaven to carry you along.

Entry Title: Elegy for Sornieth

Entry:

Drowsing in the mirth of crackling fire,
Whispering in the everglade green,
Cresting whistling, windy mountaintops,
And through sunlight warm and bright,
The Dragonsong does wend,
Harmonizing with the soulful thunder's melody,
Its reverb croons softly o'er newly fallen snow.
It sighs but never gives in to slumber,
Nor does it lament loss or petty ills,
Resting in solemn haven of hidden depths,
Far below the glimmering eye of stars,
Where no Shade could ever find it
Or give it to unearthly quiet.

Entry Category: A Change
Entry Title: Bloom

Entry:

I met you in the Science Room
Of my Year 4 class
You were just a cutting
Small
Shy
Fragile.

I had to impress my teacher
The Jacqueline Wilson lookalike
Someone who believed in me
Someone who cared
I would do my best
To take care of you.

I took you home for the week
Fed you
Watered you
Put you in the front window
And waited
And waited.

I read you stories
Told you about school
And gave you a name
Bella.
I was lonely back then
But not so much now.

Presentation Day came
You looked the same
Just a cutting
Small
Shy
Fragile.

Some had bloomed
Others had withered
I said you grew roots
But didn’t explain why.

Everyone got the same grade
Regardless of the results
Most threw theirs away
But I kept you
One more night
Just one more night.

In the morning I got dressed
Brushed my teeth
Combed my hair
The usual.

I came downstairs
Just like yesterday
But you were different
Big
Bold
Beautiful.

You filled your container
Pearlescent petals
Turned towards the light
Towards me.

I took you back to school
Put you on the teacher’s desk
With a red-penned note
‘She’s a little bit late
But she looks pretty great
No roots necessary’.

Entry:

High in the air the wind is wild
Even while the rain is a mist, so mild
Such winds are uncommon in this domain
I spot a harpy, beating its wings in vain

But a harpy is made for flight
Catching a current helps it upright
It follows a path even I can't see
Smooth sailing now, just not for me
