Hailey’s Comet by Nanette Guadiano-Campos She stole my breath With tiny kisses Made a ring around me Out of roses And fairy dust Turned my night into morning And my mourning to dancing With tambourines of butterfly wings And a voice of honey Spun a web of silken gossamer Out of eyes so gold They could be stars Or comets Leading me back To where I began In the beginning
