Celestial nymph

The silken sylphs of Paracelsus
harken from on high,
in streams of Heaven’s craftsmanship 
adrift in sunlit skies.

In elemental concordance 
they move throughout the air,
hermetic echoes from the past
O’ how I love to stare.

A graceful bliss worth pondering, 
behold them passing by,
perhaps a wave in wonderment 
will greet your thankful eye.

As salamanders greet the fire
and nymphs swim oceans wide,
and gnomes traverse the earthen soil
the sylphs just seem to glide….
