Afterglow

Let me soak in fragrant night’s blue water The moonbeams dancing through the rafter A chance to wiggle beneath laced stars’ flow Gaiety of winds chuckling quite down low Where songbirds trill of notes dewy-wet Caressing hours without pang or fret A radiant night when twilight slips much late To render dreams afloat in sweetened fate While tiny ripples seem to chant a lore Upon scent of tides rushing like before © Written for Laura Lou Any Couplet You Wish #2 Resubmitted 5/14/2016

Beautiful and lyrical. I really enjoyed this one, Nette. For sure a win. And about my tribute for my dad and his death, that was for the contest on a lost love.
