Notes About The Poem

Aurora of Elysium

elysian
   adorned with faultless time-dream
       bits of insight
  trigger dim emotions
            memory gives warmness

     spooky how light needs 
                haziness to thrive
           drew me away from 
                      odyssey I cling to
          Inner peace exists in the sky
  
       awaken the sun
                 egg-yellow in tone
     In the midst of
          oceanic aurora with blue shells

              Half bleared-eye
       embraced in soul stance
                          of shrewdness

      as though prevail
               intertwined
         In a vast ocean of you
       forgotten rootless 
                cast to the verge
       we each
                without lacking land

"awaken the sun egg-yellow in tone In the midst of oceanic aurora with blue shells".... Clear illustration of the image shown. You bring before us the enigmatic elysian beauty bathed in aurora and sedate us with the magic of your diction. Wonderful writing, heading for a top win in the contest.... !
