Gentle the Air

When crisp Anemoi swerve in my mind
and gently rouse, oh ‘pon the fair moonlight,
I raise my cheeks  to taste the dew, refined 
through quivers of the ever- threading night. 

And copper-like, my senses, mildly clothed
with fibrils circling traces on warm flesh;
this zephyr cool, guiding south’s haze evoked
by luster held by Euros rain, afresh.

And dusk will print windchimes' echo 'fore dawn
while starlit harbingers will bid me still. 
My breath will feed the hours with time reborn 
as tender wafts on misty fleet claim goodwill.

That I, a child of air, shall testify
as witness to rare music of billows’ sigh.

A marvellous sonnet; hope you win the contest. My favorite line: "And dusk will print windchimes' echo 'fore dawn".

Whew, this is a "stunner' (not a word I use often). I loved its gentle waft of serenity, Bravo Nette for likewise referring to mythological notes. A brilliant, breezy write from an illustrious poet!
