A Wind-Blown Song

A lyric drawn of passion’s longing, lit,
shall flow in spirit to thy avid mind;
faint apparitions swirl and bait thy wit
with drifting light, a joint rapport to find.

Soft silky ribbons braid a chiffon song,
of gloss and gold as bright as twilight star,
that soars on high on winds that sail along,
to carry forth a wish to lands afar.

Anticipation rising with dawn’s glow,
as wait, for now, is all that I can do.
Oh can, of windblown song, a kinship grow? 
and can that song of one now sing for two?

Of windblown song across a world so vast
I bid it sing an aria to last.






Originally for Nikko Palmario's 'Without U and ME' but since edited & now has just one little 'm' ;)

the second thing (after WOW!!!) that popped into mind after I read this was, "WHY??" ----super darn to the nth power Sharon :( :( :( ---your sonnet was amazing! I think I read it thrice in one sitting, gave me chills too--I completely forgot the U, M & E's in this one--makes me think life without them could be possible---you sure rose excellently to the challenge with this, but i just feel so deflated that it wasn't entered...:( ----back to judging i go...soupmail, hugs...

Oh, my gosh, unbelievable that you could do such a long poem without using one E. Good grief!! And it is so beautiful. MY gosh, you are going to get first place SECOND time in a row with her. And also, once again, you wrote on a theme very much like one that I have called "Love song for the Universe"(must post sometime)/ The line about the ribbons braiding a chiffon song was pure magic!
