Excellence Award in the 'National Treasures 2022' competition

As delicate as a spiderweb,
Twilight glides in like a drifting breeze.
Refulgent silvery-blue eyes,
Breath like stars in the night sky.
An ancient book of spells and
a bottle of enchantment.
Refulgent silvery-blue eyes,
As beautiful as the full moon,
She whispers in a soft tintinnabulation,
'The Zephyr at dawn has secrets to tell.
Don't go back to sleep.'
And then she is gone.
