Post Dawn Reveal

From behind velvet,
?.      curtains  drawn,
I peer with,
   a glowing faculty,
of sentient,
  embryonic paradox,
    at entranced,
     visual vine creeper,
       that tiptoe cagey,.
post dawn revealed,
       picturesque glimpses,
 stickler for the blind,
     who treat with,
       scorn  dumbfound,
    paradisal plinths,
   metaphors for,
mountain tower apex,
  or ground level placard,
 to undulating urban,
 tracts lavish,
where cerulean sky,
and town gossamer
   mesh

Way to go with this one, Howard. I can see you standing at the edge of the curtains looking out over the dark city. Sara K. 👏✍️

I loved the ending where cerulean sky and town gossamer mesh. What a cool combo
