Written: March 30, 2024 For Ink Empress Ethereal Lantern Contest Quote By Rumi: “The lamps are different, but the Light is the same. One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind, endlessly emanating all things.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In every fleeting felicity, twilight dislimns. Gaunt into gossip, gossamer of gold glove. Sewn-in vibrant amethyst and topaz, laden in the ethereal glow of moonlight. An eerily lit candle glides over the sea, brittle, bare in a lambent, gossamer veil soft vibe exudes a nostalgic indigo mood. A life pearl holds hope and love exquisite lantern shapes ethos diaphanous for a soft glow quiet pull and rhythmic delight. Dazzle and dance to Daunt Daub awe-inspiring lanterns, a mesmerizing sight a gentle glow gracefully grows with breeze, Elysian elixir sight to elicit one to their knees. Owls deem Nubian sky depths a heartfelt jewel from heaven Humanity is still a model of clay overlooked amid the artifacts of divine blithely beshrew beleaguer blunt battle and how the fluid obscurity undulated embrace that pure clarity If gloom dulled spark of empyreal kismet. Their genesis maunder motley mystery their nexus is nebulous; ogle as a panacea and possess a hypnotic, pellucid spell It casts a glow on all who dwell. Fetch them felicitously, float flourishing, and feel your soul overflowing with love amid auric doxology of celestial lanterns Infuse your spirit with unadulterated bliss.

SP, I believe you're saying we have the ability to be what we choose (within our human limits) and we can take in the energy of the universe that binds all things as an aid in our quest. Light is truly amazing and you make it so beautiful.

Amidst the enchanting scenes, the poem hints at deeper truths about humanity's relationship with the divine and the eternal quest for clarity and enlightenment. The phrase "Humanity is still a model of clay overlooked amid the artifacts of divine" suggests a humble acknowledgment of our imperfections and our enduring search for meaning and transcendence.

a stunning and captivating poem, dearest Sotto. The imagery is breathtaking; each verse is its own ethereal lantern. I particularly liked: soft vibe exudes a nostalgic indigo mood. A life pearl holds hope and love exquisite lantern shapes ethos. The last line, though, lingers in my mind and heart: Infuse your spirit with unadulterated bliss.
