Spun ( HM )

Clockwork spools spin cogs of lavender dreams

a face,

box clever,

revealing who, I question,

is it me ?.

Is she my mirror,

reflecting back images of lavender dreams

as I take centre stage

a movement , so elegant

tip toes pirouette.

Am I the swan of the lake,

or the cygnet ?

fading ..

into the land of lavender dreams .
