Summer Love

At day's end a retreating sun banished Awestruck we witness its closing farewell Silently the last veil of hue vanished Our woes amounting to mere bagatelle Nightfall air transfixed as if by a spell Overcome with a wave of emotion Rose sublimely over the citadel An opalescent moon set in motion ‘Twas a night of magical proportion Willow trees swaying in the summer breeze Billowing waves pulsating devotion Surrendering unperturbed with such ease A sumptuous spectacle up above Reflected in a sea of divine love AP: 3rd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on May 13, 2018 for contest SUMMER LOVE SONNET sponsored by JOHN HAMILTON - RANKED 3RD
