Empyrean

i. 

After night has bloomed with lavender petals

we'll gather moonbeams as the pool settles.

A paper flower 'neath the haloed lamps

shivers in the wind where love encamps.

Before day has shone with sunlit gleams

we'll gather threads and sew our dreams.

A paper bird floats on gusts of gray

and sings of joy to greet the day.

ii. 

Azure streaks of sky pour upon the green of land.

I felt a pleasant caress of rainbows upon my hand

to which I'd tether a celtic knot

and place it among the clouds. 

I dreamt of a queen empyrean

draped in her floral shrouds.

A very pleasant read. Has the feel of the classics as well as the freshness of contemporary poetry. Thank you for sharing. /Frederick.
