As Silken Petals Dream - Cm

~ Beneath the arbor violet where slumber calls her blooms In stardust moments silently as silken petals dream Through woven vine of midnight lace a’ peer this whispered eve To gaze upon their beauty fair illumined moonbeam eyes “The night was a garden of eyes.” – The Blue Bouquet Written for: Choose an Octavio Paz Line Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud 8/28/19

Thanks so much Heidi. I had just read one by Paul Callus and thought, that would be a fun contest to enter. Wrote this and looked, only one entry left. I think I just made it under the wire. But, Paul's was great so winning is not something I am expecting. I am just happy it inspired me.
