Come dance with me, my winged escape
and skip the skies in flight,
we’ll let the wind lick at our nape
and subtle touch invite.
Our cares we’ll toss to milky moon
and resonate our silky tune-
our cares we’ll toss
our cares we’ll toss
in freedom’s name our love commune.
Come float with me, my winged escape
on billowed waves of blue,
we’ll lift the night mist’s heavy drape
and sail on moonbeams through.
This golden eve will whisper dreams
on silver sheets where all it seems-
this golden eve
this golden eve
cascades our love down rushing streams.
Come bloom with me my winged escape
in midnight’s breathless hour,
my petals spread ‘neath stardust cape
to nature’s heady power.
We’ll give ourselves to Spring’s last rites
awaken sleeping appetites
we’ll give ourselves
we’ll give ourselves
and Autumn’s zenith expedite.

You are more than welcome to select your own picture and the poem that accompanies it is a perfect trijan refrain. I have come to recognize the marvelous gift you have for lilting language and knew this was your work before I saw your name. Although you excel in many genres, I feel rhyming poetry is your forte. Thank you for this entry. Peace, Liz

I love Trijan Refrain - one of my favorite forms for its musicality. You have again handled form like it was second nature to you with this lovely poem. Wonderful work with the refrain lines. They are strong and powerful. I enjoyed this so much and I too love the art of Josephine Wall. Excellent. ~Pamela

I like your take on the picture, and you word choice! It flows very well and makes me think that pretty soon all the leaves will be changing colors. Very well penned.
