Elenore

she

is nine

mystic waters flow behind her

music draws her to her spot

smiling

near her mothers watchful loving eyes

she speaks out in answer to a question

spread like sunshine from the

electric blue

strains of a magic

voice

the sky sings with sunshine

her request is answered

fairy dust

spreads like joy over her

and

she is changed

forever

elvin music

surrounds her

the source

an apparation of wonder and grace

beguiles her

she is transformed

a vision of joy

she has been

charmed

by art

by love

by imagination

by a heart

flooding over her

into the lives around her

into the earth

into the life

of the cottonwoods and locust

of the river

of spirit

sustaining her

holding her

this magic

penetrates

her generations

music

love and magic

will stay on her earth

will stay in her universe

will stay with her spirit

will stay

will stay

will stay

and

the fairy sprite

who's crystal spirit

now lives in her

is blessed

in all ways

always

long may she sing
