Wildness

Rose 

to pink

to purple

to mauve

to jade 

to emerald

to sapphire

blending to aqua

kaleidoscope of colors

bleeding along butterfly wings.

She swoops

swirls

sweeps

flitting in meadows

green 

grey

dead.

Poisoned air

scented with 

sweet floral notes

of the belladonna plant.

Hovering……

waiting…..

I pick my way below

following my guardian

my guide

she leads me true.

To where?

I do not know.

To accomplish what?

That is still a mystery

Appearing as I was denounced.

Vilified.

An Outsider.

A Danger.

So Lost

down the Rabbit’s Hole. 

Skritching noises 

as she communicates

while on their harness

my wee beasties wail.

They snap and snarl

whining their wants

as she flies ahead

leading us further into this wild land.
