Silence is like an uncultured pearl,
Intuitively mined in a tranquil night;
Lingering aspirations shine and swirl,
Enveloping senses within stars bright.
Never ending, moonlight streams
Caressing slumber’s sweet respite,
Eagerly echoing destiny's dreams.

The Fairy Dance
Introduction This image made me think of Irish and Welsh mythology, so I have decided on an ekphrastic casbairdne for the form, which, although quite short, is a very difficult form, and this is my first attempt. I did find this very hard, but hopefully I made it work.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

I love the imagery you painted with this poem, now when I see pearls behind a glass in a store I will think of your beautiful words. I also like how you link aspirations to the features of a pearl. It was a very enjoyable read.
This flows perfectly, Cindy! There are so many great lines, but I especially love how it ends! Beautiful!
"uncultured pearl/Intuitively mined" - my favourite!
