Brilliant colors, sapphire and gold Emerald and scarlet, hues of lavender Breathe through my senses, penetrating The depths of my soul, where only God Can know the answers to my vibrant litanies Racing desires, flaming like a fiery praise Caressing my thoughts in turquoise and amber Waves of melodies so soft and gentle They free my spirit from its words and needs Glowing passions across my naked dreams Whispers of melancholy promises reach through me Into the sensations that break across my lights In shadows, erasing the moon and stars of night With rays of blushing tangerine sunlight Glimmering through the dewy rose in bloom Fading into the darkness of midnight fantasies Flooding my prayers with hope, kindness and inspiration Poetry vows to send words of faith and love Into the creativity that comes from the heart On the wings of a warm and whimsical compassion Beautiful ideas flow silently through trees Of deepest aspirations and optimism, hope That rides the sea of possibility with purity Shining across the faith of a heart who feels Every promise that has been satisfied with sincerity Along limbs of reminiscences, on crimson leaves Grow gratitude and thanksgiving crying tears Of impressions and beliefs that come alive In the ones who know only the imagination can fulfill The quest for intimacy with an angel’s presence In the forest of my dreams, awaiting reality Watching stars fall across the vast darkness On night’s beautiful haven of moonlight alive Reflecting on the insight and revelation of a moment When grace gives me the piercing stare of certainty Finally, after all this time on the quiet flames Of compassion and caring and innovation There comes the prayerful assurance that I have Been led through the jungle of reveries into A new day, a new way, a new fate… I can see the forest of my dreams, In spite of the veracity of the trees In the forest of my dreams poetry contest Sponsored by mystic rose rose April 11, 2021
