Guardian of Air

As tangy waft careens into my mind To softly rouse a glittering twilight, I frolic with the northern breeze, refined On imprints of an ever- threading night. And copper-like, my senses mildly clothed with fibrils tracing ripples on warm flesh; this zephyr cool guides evensong hollowed by a mystique startling birds’ tunes, afresh. Until the trade-wind fades before new morn oh guardian of air will bid me still; my breath feeding the hours with time reborn till dewy waft on skyline claims goodwill. That I, a child of moon, shall testify as witness to the gentle billow’s sigh. My Favourite Forms - Haibun or Sonnet Contest of Heather Ober 9/17/2015

longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers!
