lavender haze

Lavender haze within idyllic daydreams,
The gentle hypnosis of whale song weaves between Neptune's lonely moons,
 As they spin pearlescent orbs in the black hole of space,
Oblivious to the addicting sickly sweet smell
Of the lilys that grow in the dusty titian sand,
That flows like a river over the dreamy landscape that illustrates my imagination.

    The line "The gentle hypnosis of whale song weaves between Neptune's lonely moons" is ready for a painting of a quiet night ocean. The poem seems to weave through a series of subtle emotions.

    Though the theme of this is quite abstract, the words used in the writing really catches the viewer's attention.
    Something about "the gentle hypnosis of whale song weaves between Neptune's lonely moons," creates really fascinating imagery. Keep up the great work!
