rain for days
just when we all needed it
dew made the roses look
brand new
& the birds gathered
on native vines
to sip the residue
of a gift so divine
it doesn’t even try
to #spellbind,
i placed my forehead
on the ground
to thank the One
who gave us
the cool breeze
& drenched trees
#vss365
To #wager with someone
That you could #spellbind them
To become someone else
Like a #character from a movie
Or a favourite show
But what would you bet?
To be treated to #gelato
If you manage the feat?
You light #incense
Imagine the power
A dream
