Steadfast stars aloft,
Unignored, swell sails
Billow pass across
Pure celestial floor
Lord's world beneath seize

Nature's whiff scent
While buds unfurl

I stare towards the steadfast stars
aloft, unignored. Where there,
swell sails billow pass across celestial floor.
Lord's world beneath seize me
an in infectious season.
Whiff scent of nature's breath,
breathe freedom easily afford pleases.
While sword buds unfurl
into artistry pieces flare
hoards greet a sweet reward.
Grace upon agents adored
to passeth golden streaks words
a gust of pleasure flowers;
spent sun doth toss up its ray showers.
A spring garden spears scarlet tulips
to perfect accord
to receive and free me.

Contest Name: SONATA LYRICS
Continuous, that vibrant stream of consciousness
above our heads, insouciant,
though lacking alpha and omega,
unassailable until
am uninvited. gracious guest.
a dazzling flash of spirit life
uproarious, descends.
For all we know, a glitch in time,
(a mere intensity of purpose undefined)
yet unignored, and seized!
The moment's energy embraced
and all is changed, for
suddenly a thoroughfare appears
on yet another plane,
pristine and broad
across a thousand new horizons.
No, nor fears the rushing blood
through jaded veins to answer
wit a joyous "yes!"
the call to frolic on the shore
(o magum mysterium)
beneath the crumbling stars
(in saecula saeculorum)
Deo Gratias!
