Among the first to wake in dream of Earth,
Enitha glides along lush river shore
among pink primrose blooming softly sweet
from gentle caress of her tender feet
that leads her path to silent misty moor
where luminous phantom gleams in her eyes.
Strange butterfly of sorrow with gold eyes
lands on large apple in broad tangled tree
so shy Enitha reaches out her hand
just as bright lightning flashes in black cloud
so she breathes sudden gust of crackling wind
when luminous phantom scatters black rain.
When giant spider, larger than her hand,
crawls up trunk of the broken apple tree,
Enitha holds her trembling body still
to watch how long legs weave thin silver web
that shimmers with each gust of subtle wind
as luminous phantom gleams in raindrops.
Small herd of deer with large black eyes of faith,
yet tense with skittish innocence of fear,
assemble on shore of the sparkling stream
to drink with cautious terror of desire
but flee in shadow of the ancient woods
when luminous phantom opens her eyes.
Among the first to wake from dream of time,
Enitha gazes long at sparkling stars
that flicker in soft undulating waves
with swirl of clouds lit gold by sudden moon
that rises dripping from deep mountain lake
since luminous phantom knows her true name.
Elegant horse with long shimmering mane
grazes on low hill slope among tall grass,
so lithe Enitha hides in tall oak tree,
afraid that graceful creature with black eyes
may race away into the rainbow sky
when luminous phantom offers her fruit.
Stretching her arms after sitting five hours
drawing panels for her graphic webtoon
that features Enitha at dawn of time,
Sakura wanders in slippers and pink robe
to the kitchen where she drinks apple juice,
yet luminous phantom floats in her mind.
Watching cars glide on busy road below,
Sakura ponders how her cute fantasy tale
should progress that displays her character
as fragile girl with cautious innocence
who grows strong when she faces obstacles
so luminous phantom blooms in her heart.

Orpheus plays lyre of Mercury and sings haunting melody that lures deer and horses and birds and young woman with luminous phantom of her heart.
