    What Is It?

    What is it?
    Chase that!
    Fluffy flying fuzz-balls
    In my air space.

    It floats yet swims.
    Perhaps it’s a fairy,
    Or maybe an alien!
    Maybe it’s an eeny-weeny beeny ghost?

    I know an Angel!

    One lands on my finger
    My breath hushed
    My eyes wide.
    It must be Mother Nature’s magic.

    PS It is an adult woolly aphid
    very magical in its flight
    and they drive me crazy
    with delight!

    You don't need to be there to ascertain magic. It's everywhere, including in what makes the most sense. No explanation is valid over any achievement. God be with you.

    A wooly aphid appears as a magical thing until you realize what destruction it can bring.

    Here is a photo of one in flight

    Looks like a little angel, doesn't it? But it will eat my veggies alive and leave a sticky residue over them.

    Your words and line flow mimicked the airiness of the whole thing so well!

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
