Gentle the Air

When crisp Anemoi swerve in my mind and gently rouse, oh ‘pon the fair moonlight, I raise my cheeks to taste the dew, refined through quivers of the ever- threading night. And copper-like, my senses, mildly clothed with fibrils circling traces on warm flesh; this zephyr cool, guiding south’s haze evoked by luster held by Euros rain, afresh. And dusk will print windchimes' echo 'fore dawn while starlit harbingers will bid me still. My breath will feed the hours with time reborn as tender wafts on misty fleet claim goodwill. That I, a child of air, shall testify as witness to rare music of billows’ sigh. ---------- Shadow Hamilton's Gods Of Winds Contest * Anemoi-- Gods of four directional winds * Notos--God of south winds ushering summer and rain 12/26/2014

A marvellous sonnet; hope you win the contest. My favorite line: "And dusk will print windchimes' echo 'fore dawn".

Whew, this is a "stunner' (not a word I use often). I loved its gentle waft of serenity, Bravo Nette for likewise referring to mythological notes. A brilliant, breezy write from an illustrious poet!
