Lilac Dream

Thou have started a journey so serene. One that shall take thee into spring, Enjoying all of nature’s beauty unseen, Feeling majestic powers, it will bring. Imagine fragrances warmed by sunshine. Feel cascading build of warmth around. Mid day arrives, preparations combine. As gentle fresh air moves without sound, Brilliancy around thee captures your breath. New birth engages your senses so deep. Sweet visions revive thee, from sudden death. Sounds caress thine ears, even in sleep. Thou with thine eyes closed, awareness in smell. Sensing lilacs, bidding winter farewell, Written for Sponsor Francine Roberts Contest Name Bring on Spring

I don't think even William Shakespeare could have written anything with the quality this one has. No wonder Francine chose this to be among the best.
