A time before time, where
pastel equilibrium holds,
merges, blends and binds;
the first drops of dew
run red with life as
spirit and soul cry
birth!
Then mist follows mist, still
shadows form; ice,
frost, glacial and pure
shards of the prism
laugh colour to flesh, whilst
hearts and bodies grasp
life.
Calm wave comforts wave, minds
awaken, beaming; joy,
hope, pleasure kisses
the wanton lips of need
in a liliac haze, consuming,
reaching for eternal
love.
A sphere within a sphere; whirls,
spins, blinds; exhaling
fire, molten sips from
faith's pristine cup;
bonding, golden glints
of light seeking
souls.
Then one becomes one; tastes,
senses and touches, protecting
thoughts and feelings, awash
with water colour
passions; cascading tarns
blur within, to embrace the
dream.

Within these words, I would dare to dream. I would wish to dream. Breathtaking imagery is written within this piece. I felt the soul move within each word. There is vision here...
I love the opening lines of each stanza repeating one becomes one etc. giving this poem marvelous rhythm and superb flow. I am enchanted within the words that compliment the image so well, yet need no image to convey the message.
A superb entry. Exactly what I was looking for in this contest. Thank you for this gem. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

Oh! I love your presentation here! Each stanza takes the reader on a personal journey through passions and emotions. It is rich in description and has such elegance and grace.
I'll have to do a little research on your author notes to see the inspiration for this lovely work.
A lovely entry for Pam's contest
I have missed reading your lovely words.
