Beautiful Creature

Lost in distraction

By Elsa Michaela | @surfthoughtPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

You're counting stars on your fingers again

Distracted by those little fairy-bulbs along the rail

Touching them lightly, lovingly

And every one has meaning

I'm sure

In scented darkness

Sweet hearts

For a moth to dance between

Your halo of magic dust

Golden blush blown playfully

And the excited fluttering of wings

Why try to reach the moon at all,

Beautiful creature?

About the Creator

Elsa Michaela | @surfthought

When you hear a song

One that stops you in your tracks

That seems spoken from your own mind

Do you listen and listen again?

Follow its streams until a tide,

Inside you

Rushes to fill in the small hollow parts

…Yeah, me too
