Moonlit Prayers

Lank shimmery hair flows off her shoulders Cascading aloft sweet midnight zephyr Alone she sits perched on seaside boulders Under somber moonlight where he'd left her Night after night she's at the rendezvous Serene silhouette against the skyline Amorously bidding her love adieu Should by design the stars divine align The twilight shadows hide the tears that flow Deferring to cosmic powers that be Prayers released beneath a live tableau Akin lost mermaid lingering at sea Love lost in surf leaving a soul in strife Fate to reunite love in the next life Submitted on May 13, 2019 for contest CHOICES (PHOTO #3) sponsored by SARA KENDRICK - HONORABLE MENTION and January 8, 2019 for contest BEAUTIFUL SADNESS sponsored by JOHN HAMILTON - RANKED 10TH
