Broken Scales

For WPC: Broken

For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Pairs

A majesty of fairies
Fashioned crystal glass
At the tips of each
Fine blade of grass

At the darkest decline
Darning gems so bright
Then directing prisms
To the morning light

They collected their thimbles
And trimmed the thread
But left before dawn
Quietly they fled

The pleated petals
Cascade, prominent, but yet
Delicately made….

Upon the moonlit grass
My toes do tread
Turf and earth imprinting
On a mossy bed

A tired floret stoops
A sleepy head
Resting…sequestered…
Nothing to be said

A chill blows from the east
Then ceases… to ground
Still…serenity
Folds in…to surround

Is this dreaming … revealing?
Looking to the skies
Into night’s darkness
With a canopy of eyes

For the WPC: Intricate
