First Place

in quiet introspection - Ethereal Lanterns

at this blessed time of the year
I am in quiet introspection
seeking the ethereal ~ I meditate
wanting to set sail to divine balance
as a lantern gliding over the sea
delicate, airy and light
I am filmy and gossamer
my aura misty mauve

life is a delicate fragile seed
full of promise, hope and love
and my life is unfurling
for my floating ethereal lantern
holds a flickering light
overflowing with violet hues
I feel the ebb and flow pulling
and whispers of sweetness swirl

my meditation is lit by my soul
with thoughts painted exquisite
in magic beneath a veiled sun
I drift my lantern like a gauzy curtain
a picture of serenity over the sea
I am spiritual, ethereal, and sublime
infinite are my shades
dusty mauve brushstrokes whirl
