Magical Moment
Amber reverently sat on the soft summer grass in front of the old grand tree stump. She crossed her legs, smoothed her long blue robe, and bowed her head breathing in the solitude. She’d heard tales her entire life of its magic, where it comes to life under the strawberry moon. The candles were placed carefully at the old stump’s base, exactly like her grandmother had described to her when she was a child. Before modern times, this was the place where young women came before their eighteenth birthday to learn their life’s fate. The delicate white moths were as drawn to the moment as Amber was. In the candlelight and under the full moon, the face on the old redwood tree stump appeared. Now all she had to do was wait, confident the tree would speak to her. Tell her what her heart yearned to hear, that the bygone magic was in her.
eyes fluttered open
words came from the wooden mouth
speaking to her soul
awakening ancient blood
she had the fairy magic
With the holiday next month, the Creative Perspective Challenge will be on July 8th with the results on July 15th 🙂
This Friday is the first day of summer and my post for Books That Changed Me: 2025 Summer Edition, and also my newsletter will be going out that day.
Embrace your inner child with creativity. D. L. Finn (Denise)
