Betwitching

Some have colours blazing around them,

glittering like diamonds.

Flashing beacons, like lighthouses,

or oil slicked puddles in the sun.

Lighting up the room they cast their sunlight

prisms like seeds, and from their bounty 

springs energy,

confidence

and love.

Occasionally you may feel a tingle

as a spark passes via a brush of the hand,

a press of a shoulder, even a glance or a smile 

thrown with lightening precision 

ensnaring the soul

and brightening the day.

You may pass a half open doorway

through which sunlight streams

even on a foggy day.

Venturing in you see mist still curling in smoky tendrils

beyond the window 

and the day is gloomy, damp and dark,

yet somehow the person in the room

is awash with light and colour,

their smile full of verve,

garments bright

as though festooned with firefly's.

A fairy..... a charmer... ?

You are bewitched.

'Some people shine'.
