Enchantment


Hypnotised, mesmerised, mystified.
Caught within an Enchanted Glen
Imaginary beings appear
Then disappear again.

A melodic siren-song
Is carried on the wind
Which fades away to silence
And gently starts again.

The chirping of the birds above
Blend with the trickle of the stream
Sunbeams cascade through the trees
This appears to be a dream.

A bumblebee flies by my ear
And then off into the wood
A butterfly floats overhead
Yes, I think I’m Feeling Good!

Nature casts a magic spell
On those who watch in awe
The brilliance of the natural world
Even when it’s been seen before.

        The sun is shining; it’s nice and hot without being sticky humid!
        Hope the weather is nice in your neck of the woods!

    Ahh… ‘…the brilliance of the natural world…’ This is an enchanting poem and photograph Tom, and you are right, no matter how many times we witness it, the beauty of the moment at such times never fails to mesmerise 🙂

      Thanks, Sherri. It’s so easy not to notice, or take for granted for just being there, but stopping and looking really brings the magic home!
