Placed 3rd © 21st December 2017

Intense my heartbeat at the break of day Be it the hues that mingle in the sky Or clustered clouds that keep the sun at bay The moment’s pleasure sends my spirits high. Inhaling deeply, fragrance in the air, My soul uplifted and with passion fed In heat of ardour, my emotions bare, With enthusiasm plan the work ahead.
