Kismet's Embrace

Written: February 21, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Craig Cornish ***************** A whispered secret shrouds my soul, softening spars— In the silver glow of the moon, chaos outside fades away, Mint chords and vivid vines mold my heart to sing. Rich nostalgia merges as thin sprigs gasp in the gloom. Seraphic star mosaics inspire awe and apodictic will; the soft waltz of life and death is woven amid stars. In this serene hour, my heart races with anticipation, Time flows akin to sand, echoing the rhythm of evolving life, The mild wind carries ripe tales that only silence can reveal— exotic oceans and lofty heights stir our dreams. I'm drawn to the night soap aroma as night falls. Still spirits deep darkness blooms, spilling secrets — In this timeless ocean, hours lose their meaning . . . By embracing the moment, I bind the past with kismet, Dawn alters me with shadow and silence, and I emerge poised to embrace the day’s spurs. Morning’s light dispels the remnants of night’s shadows, I return to my sacred space, to my crux of serenity— where stars and a glittering sea reflect in my tears. Each is a memory, a moment of joy, a shard of a lost love.
