What do you see? #1 — She Soars

For long she swam in pools of jade
But now her wings soar lilac skies
Twixt earth and sky in orange brocade
For long she swam in pools of jade
In shadows waits; she’s heaven-made
Transform from sleep! Awake! Arise!
For long she swam in pools of jade
But now her wings soar lilac skies!

 

Sadje is doing a trial run of “What do you see?”  Helene’ used to be the giver of prompts for this challenge.  I’m not sure I can do it every week, but I will try.  Thank you, Sadje, for keeping this prompt challenge alive!

Today’s offering is a triolet form poem.
