In Midnight Mirrors, Thy Beauty Reflects

In Midnight Mirrors, Thy Beauty Reflects

In midnight mirrors, thy beauty reflects
rays that brighten the waning moon.
Life serenity, Nature's architects,
find thy grace equal its great boon. 
 
Hold thy touch, for very few deserve
dearest blessings, thy sweetest smile.
Art's true masterpieces pale to thy curves
thy laughter makes it all worthwhile.

Send again, deep cheer thy tender heart spreads
longings to hear thee play and sing.
Within thy soft glows rest bright sunset reds
thy great heart forbids worshiping.

In daylight dreams, thy spirit so renews.
All suffering from lonely blues.

Great sonnet Robert, I like the moon theme here; reflecting emotions through colors and sentience. Killer last line! To my faves, BIG7!
