Moonlight Fades

When moonlight fades from flower and rose
Sweet mystery of dawn unfolds
Now all the dreams of night will pale
Wafting into lilac shadows

As tapestry of daylight grows
Rainbows linger in the dew
Stirring nature and earth to wake
As birdsong trills a new day glows

Sun rays in forest light transpose
We long to keep this morning calm
Yet plans start spinning in our minds 
No time to gaze on peaceful willows

Forget the brilliant lure of Nature’s shows
Or daylight spun from pinks and golds
There will be many more tomorrow’s.  

For Lines to Awaken Your Muse 2 
Joseph May
Line used : The moonlight fades from flower and rose
First Place

Tom Cunningham Date: 3/22/2020 6:48:00 PM Love the imagery Suzanne, hopefully there will be many more tomorrows when this crisis is over. Good luck. Stay safe. Tom Login to Reply Suzanne Delaney Date: 3/22/2020 8:14:00 PM My hopes too, Tom: I know if we follow the guidelines we will all make it through. I heard the countries that have malaria have fewer cases of Covid”19, as the chloroquine kills the virus. Time to get back on gin and tonics I think. SuZ
