Captivating

It slowly rises from the horizon
In between the clouds. It seems
Near yet it is so far to grasp,
To touch but never too far to feel.

It slowly rises from within without
Warning in between butterflies and
Fear - lust, discovery, revival.
It seems closer,embracing its solid
Surroundings;close enough to grasp,
To touch, and even to feel.

It arrives unexpectedly creating
Expectations. It takes flight from
The highest of leaves just as freely
As when it made the tree her home.
But seasons change, and with the
Season her departure.
