Sweet Night Songs-Ct

I smiled when beguiled by glowing
inside an orb of golden light
From heaven, music seemed to flow
Sweet ambrosial songs in the night

Then, there sparked a magical flare
that formed a wreath upon my hair
I danced as stardust fell from high
and Angels chanted in the sky

When in the night, ambrosial songs
seemed to flow; music from heaven,
I smiled, beguiled by sweet golden
light, glowing inside of an orb.

My heart beat like a timpani
Played in celestial symphony

Charles Messina Date: 10/13/2020 8:06:00 AM Hi Jenna, this was definitely one of my fav's written in my contest (beautifully written) It's prob my fault...and I'm sure it is (lol) for not explaining the rules for my contest well enough. But unfortunately, your last stanza was off a little with the wording (But I love how you mixed them up differently than the way I did mine). Anyway, thanks for entering my contest and Congratulations on your placement. Hugs always...Charlie Login to Reply

Hugs, John Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 9/10/2020 5:05:00 AM Good morning, John. Thank you. I had to work on the 3rd verse because the contest requirement was to use the same words used in the first verse, but rearranged.
