renaissance



Renaissance
By
Lisa A.Williams



In her veil of twilight-  
we sleep,
dreaming endless dreams
of  a tomorrow,
where sun
warms
and rain washes clean
the soil of regret.
Renewed in the embrace
of  lunar lust,
 as its light in the darkness
shadows
 the end of another day.
In our silent calm,
 we lay still,
 shedding wishes
as though
they were tears

  8. I'm a sucker for last lines that grip me by the lapels and shakes me.

    "In our silent calm, we lay still, shedding wishes as though they were tears" does exactly that! Well done, Lisa.
