A Hue of Heaven

Above lime trees, below the lemon sun
The bees and birds bathe in the skies lagoon
Of this fine hour I gaze what has begun
To me to be the quiet birth of noon
In symphony with natures harp and tune

A hue of heaven brushed above the air
Of sacred ether and omniscient flare
Baptising wings where-in horizons dew
With eyes as feet that step to stair, I stare
Awestruck anew a splendour of a view

Johnny, these dizain are quite like sonnets, aren't they? This is so pretty and sonnet like. I think I will just look over all my old sonnets and find some lines to use in a dizain!! Hey, thanks for your sweet comments the other day. I want to comment back to everyone I missed yesterday. Couldn't do Soup at all. Wish I had more time! Luv, Andrea
