She is a beauty as she is light.

Picture Source

Tonight, the sounds in the small corners of the room
Echoed lighter
Echoed freer

The simple moments felt exquisite
The taste of silence rang out with soft exactness

And, she sat and pondered,
What will tomorrow bring?

The tiny nightingale sitting on a perch caught her attention
Pleasantly she sings

And once again
Imagination lifted, took flight
Brightly vivid

Magical, like her brilliant majestic wings
