A warm glow round the Christmas tree

The silent harbour of hope

The late lilac (old age)

Blown away by an Angel-soul

Spirit of everything

A peacock with a fierytail

And a hundred eyes

A cherished world to spark in

Name/Place piece

Angel was on a quest to find Aurora Northern Lights

She dreamt of them every night

Pinks,purples,blues and greens

Rainbow flares and breath-taking scenes

Waves of colours like dancing ribbons made from silk

Snow white as milk

A magical,mystical sky,she made a wish that she could fly,

On the back of a dragon headed fly

Suddenly the bedroom window flew open and Angel

Climbed on Symphony’s back taking her to a land

Where on-one could track

The Northern lights filled the sky,changing shapes

She wondered why?

Her next quest was to find eternal youth,to bath in the water

Of hot springs in the Blue Lagoon

Suddenly,the weather changed,geysers blowing up

Every way she turned.The sky was getting dark

And she made a wish to find a an Igloo,it came true and

She saw mountains and fountains,local people dressed in sheepskin

Travelling eyes like look again sequins.

Mud bubbling like there was a secret being breathing below

And exploring caves where no other people would dare go

Angel travelled home on a Viking ship,the sea was high

But she had a strong grip

It was an extraordinary trip!
