A Moment of Magic
A time to hold
Her little hand is close in mine,
I squeeze it as we near the time:
Our full attention,
A ball of gold,
Sinking in the mirror sea.
***
Clouds of glory frame the sight
And sparkling eyes reflect the light.
Against the glow
A distant gull;
We sigh as one.
***
Here is beauty
In slow movement
Silently vanishing.
I’d love to make the moment stand,
The way I hold her trusting hand.
***
“Going…” I declare,
Just a sliver left.
“Going, going… Gone!”
We gaze in poignant stillness, then
“Aunty! Aunty, do it again!”

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
