Chimera World - If You Could See As I

If you could see as I in midnight’s hue, On moon-lit strolls beneath mosaic lace, And held my hand once more where angels flew When time was marked by Heaven’s lilac grace; And if you viewed the garden robins tilled, Where blossoms bloomed with life to hear their song, And grew enriched by mist from clouds that spilled As notes of joyful rain all season long; And if you climbed the tree of Summer’s bliss - Freed from guardian maze entangled vines That now entrap the heart of love’s first kiss - And then you peered the stars in search of signs: You’d find aglow what always makes me cry; You’d see your self-reflection’s lullaby. 2/8/2017 Submitted for: Chimera World Using these words: mosaic, maze, moon, guardian, garden, angel, heaven, heart, midnight, clouds

This is a great sonnet, I always admire people for being able to write a poem with a set of words they need to use. And then to make it into a poem of beauty, that is fluent? If you could see as I, that's a sentence I truly love. Good luck in the contest, my dear friend.
