It floated gently
Gracefully before me
So fragile that it trembled
As I reached out to hold it
For a brief instant
There it hovered just out of reach
Radiant colours of rainbow hue
Changed and swirled in a dizzying haze
Into that fascinating display
I gazed deeper till I fell
Visions too wonderful to describe
Truly I was under its spell
I lost touch with cold reality
Wrapt up in fiery spectacle
Staring as if into a crystal orb
That unlocks the future and unveils
Allowing mortal eyes to behold
In that endless microsecond
I thought this was fantasy come true
Greedily I reached out to grab my chance
To possess and make this precious jewel mine
But then it bursts
Into a myriad droplets of evaporating moisture
Mingling with my tears of regret
As I realise nothing could ever bring that vision back again
That singular moment of perfection
Forever
Gone
* written in the distant past
