Embracing Enchantment

Embracing Enchantment

To cross enchanted streams
Whisper from the meadow
Waltzing with your dreams
Dancing with your shadow

Whisper from the meadow
Flow with sweet serenity
Dancing with your shadow
Caressing the tranquility

Flow with sweet serenity
The peace is within sight
Caressing the tranquility
And music becomes light

The peace is within sight
Waltzing with your dreams
And music becomes light
To cross enchanted streams

 

 

 

 

Author notes

Pantoum:
The pantoum consists of a series of quatrains rhyming ABAB in which the second and fourth lines of a quatrain recur as the first and third lines in the succeeding quatrain; each quatrain introduces a new second rhyme as BCBC, CDCD. The first line of the series recurs as the last line of the closing quatrain, and third line of the poem recurs as the second line of the closing quatrain, rhyming ZAZA.

Continue with as many stanzas as you wish, but the ending stanza then repeats the second and fourth lines of the previous stanza (as its first and third lines), and also repeats the third line of the first stanza, as its second line, and the first line of the first stanza as its fourth. So the first line of the poem is also the last.

    The repetition of this style makes the environment and setting feel more soothing as if it is talking with a gentle voice.

    you do use reating lines better than any other poet I read, and "music becomes light" is such a beautiful line that were the rest of the poem not beautiful I would be back to re-read.

    You have built a bridge of dreams and light to carry us to an enchanted realm. Oh, how I love this. Take me with you! I want to go. You have touched the other, and been touched. What is more, you have given us a road map on how it is done. This is a supernova of a poem. Wonderful.
