Turn Me Into Love, Ethereal Lanterns

Rice paper dreams, lanterns and beamers of peace lighting the way to my heart you are in far remote Intricate cutout beauty, please do not decease for I need you to guide me with radiant denote Lantern of love illuminate me with soulful grace far deeper is your symbol than mere luck of age Ramadan rose * Easter lily * Passover Iris- lace some days I am sinner, some days I am sage Star lantern of my heart help me keep my vow to a dormant holiday that often seems demure Oh spirit of the season, guide me to your Tao and Universal truth, please do not obscure the lanterns of my soul, as I celebrate in-grit and return to love, with altruistic composite.

Dear sweet rose, i love this! So beautiful like your stunning soul, how kind and nice of you to mention “ ramadan rose and easter lily” that really stood out for me, as iv never seen anyone mention other religion despite differences in faith, youv done it in such an eloquent manner, and to write a sonnet with such brilliant rhymes too is impressive! I really also love the line “ Star lantern of my heart help me keep my vow to a dormant holiday that often seems demure” ethereal! So cosmically divine! Pleasure reading this! Its a fave for me! Congratulations

not sure if I should mention the different religions or not, lol, but I tried to keep them vague, and incline it on the spiritual side, like she asked, I hope she likes it. :)

Strange I'm the first to read this wonderful poem. But these days I decided to read only those who read me, like Sara Kendrick. A great sonnet.
