My Lucky Charmer
A whisper of wind, a sunlit, soft sway,
She moves through the world in her own gentle way.
No gilded cage, no tethered, tight string,
With her, I watch joy on unfettered wing.
Like a bird in the sky, she exists ever free,
A spirit untamed, for all eyes to see.
She dances with shadows, she laughs with the light,
And paints every moment in colors so bright.
A clover of four leaves, a wish on a star,
She's more than a symbol, she's near and she's far.
A warmth in the winter, a cool summer breeze,
She brings serendipity, puts my heart at ease.
The world spins and shifts, a tumultuous sea,
But her presence is anchor, stability.
Her smile, a bright beacon, a comforting gleam,
She's woven her magic into life's waking dream.
And when doubts cloud my vision, and shadows descend,
Her hand in my own, a true, loyal friend.
She's more than a charm, more than luck can impart,
She's the beat of my rhythm, the song of my heart.

Dear Mark,
I rather think that you are the charmer, with your amazing way with wordsmithing! I loved this. My favorite lines are:
And when doubts cloud my vision, and shadows descend,
Her hand in my own, a true, loyal friend.
She's more than a charm, more than luck can impart,
She's the beat of my rhythm, the song of my heart.
fondly, Cat

For...
the most part, this poem is pretty good, bringing a view of your muse to our eyes. Only problem I see is the [serendipity] line.
Too many beats, which can be fixed by taking out the connecting word, [and]. Nice, light theme, to show your connection with your muse. ~ Geez.

I suppose Geez
I been told too much punctuation before it's a habit I need to get a handle on.
