Frozen in time The sweet embers of a charcoal fire Linger in the mist of the day Hovering in the air Holding fast While clouds float over the horizon Making their way in a journey of the unknown And caterpillars parade across wet grass Marching to a tune unheard and unsung And yet pervasive In the momentum of the illusionary The myths and legends wrapped in pink ribbons And fairy tales come to life In the land of their own making
