As the Moon Sets

As the Moon Sets in a quiet place you have found me, sighing a tranquil morning of pastel that sees you blushing I sit serene in your healing feminine fellowship letting the gift of this moment reverberate within link my spirit to your divine senescence cadence as the goddess of rebirth swirls amid interlaced tales no sacrifice laid but flowers sweetest perfume infuse my instincts with your imbued woman wisdom your silver tendrils enfold the sent suspended wishes delivered on wings in prayers of innocent pleas to thee found weeping against the night’s ebony emptiness you bless their broken promises with gifts of hope as you fade from my respite of morning’s vision erased in the glow of sunrises drowning drumbeat heaven still waltzes in your arms amid stars opulence as does the kiss of dew upon delicate lips of roses 10-3-2020 Brians Your Choice 20 contest 1st place

I so look forward to the full moons...and those months when she sets over the bay as the sun rises...I used to have a rose the same colors.
