The teal peels as it submits to gloaming, and a round lucidity exposed abroad. As the alien brilliance shines far away, the maneuvered view is being cast. 'Tis dormancy that exacts dark period of tenure, countdown from the zero hour. Distant silhouettes grow versus fawning growth, dipped in Luna's balm. The etching of profiled naturalness acquiesces, constant figurines masquerading the expanse. Subtle contours architecturally restructured, split seconds surrender serene scenes. The solid realm maintained lifeless postures, as the teeming formations made idle trims. Mimicry traces the bestilled in passing, perfect copies render mockeries silence. Heights claim their surroundings, as the tight-lipped verdant statuesque frames. Depths summon intimate intrigue, whilst burgeoning burrowed bedrock bound. Exchanging brightness extremely bold, lilt ventures its routine as the subject of Sol. More or less defining shadows... there's no difference that a day would make.

Hi William. It's glad tidings for your return. So many great phrases in this winner. I always enjoy poetry that infuses the sun and moon. "... dipped in Luna's balm." Anything bathed in moonlight captures my interest. Nicely written.

Aloha, Sam! Pehea 'oe, my friend! Your words are reassuring, a bit of a refresher coursing my way. I made a post for you under "snowdrops", sort of noting my return. Mahalo and blessings to you and yours, always, William
