A Beautiful Sadness

Solarium songs of unsung heroes rooted to the ground Matchable shades red roses of silk bereft of true life Evergreen dreams on eyelet vistas desired not found Fantasies throng showmanship beauties containing no strife Wicker chair creaks the solvent moments of temporal eyes Memories gather and life proceeds without need Forever thoughts clinging to the vine whispering goodbye Family loss, his portrait watches she lives on the edge Everything morphs even the heroes just like the seasons Devotions live inside hearts chamber, easy to indent Palpable touch so easily frayed tears without reason Malleable forces its a single rose, in a soulmates tent A beautiful sadness takes over the solarium alights she misses him dearly , recalling the fights.

I had no idea what the sponsor wanted, but you seem to have captured it perfectly. Your reference to the "portrait watches" hit home. There is a large one of my late father in my living room. Best wishes in the contest, PD! Hugs, Carolyn
