NoPoWriMo Day #20
Watermark of Dreams
Hold it to the light
Outline is crisp
The long narrow body
The flashing wings
She waits
Holds out her hand
The ritual begins
She dances
Dips and dives
Cross the stream
Stepping from
Stone to stone
Select the pencil
Blackwing
Graphite encased in wood
Well crafted tool
Black with gold lettering
It is a mistaken
Illusion
Flight pattern dips
Behind the barn
Amends are made
Return to original plan
Feet sink into the ooze
Much to fear
Alligators wait
Mosquitos buzz
Snakes find refuge
Spanish daggers
Razor sharp
Resolve is tested
The trace of the watermark
Is tenderly impressed

So lovely. "The trace of the watermark is tenderly impressed." I also love the artist's satisfaction in selecting just the right pencil.
Is that your sketch, Annell? It is incredibly beautiful.
