Maiden

Maiden hidden
in the hollows
of the willow tree
Fairy trapped
within its trunk
waiting for the wind
to free her passionately
Trembling in the air
her curly fair hair
catches the birds
of dream to rest
into the nest
of rustling leaves
Discovering at times
her gracile shape
Gift offered
on a golden tray
to the Prince Charming
of the lake
Meandering vague silhouette
guilty of glamour
and despair
