Hibiscus Sunrise

Hibiscus Sunrise Fragrant breezes surround me, sifting on the glowing rays beyond the heather hedge, walking barefoot, senses fly, lemonade the tint… born upon this early morning sky Lantana lullabies, still a faint offering, relinquish me of moon fed destinies, setting me free once more in the golden sheen of a pristine hibiscus sunrise Soft, a haze does find me in a sphere of intoxicated dreams swirling about this blue canopy, this euphoric frame bordering the tapestries of nature’s happiness On this day wings sprout, gossamer in saffron flow from shoulders soft and bliss divine, perfect of a vision I do long to harbor near For in my eyes again reflects your beauty and I touch you… as I breath in the majesty of my desires, thanking the heavens once more for my morning blessings Good morning Soupers

Bongu my sweet friend. I am happy you came by for a visit this morning/afternoon. Here's hoping your afternoon is as beautiful as the words you always leave for me, for if it is, then it will be the most gorgeous part of the day. :)

What an enchanting way to start the day. A soothing and evocative moment that makes you feel like you are coming from the land of dreams to an equally blissful day, gently sprouting gossamer wings. A 7:) Amitiés

Chris, your imagery is amazingly beautiful as always... However, I didn't know where you were going with the poem until the last stanza...

Thank you so very much Trisha and the truth...I didn't really know where it was going either until I got to the end. That happens often with me. :)
