A Triolet Contest Entry

Sunshine Visions

by Y. M. Roger

Feeling sun’s warmth upon my face
  hides winter’s chill within its guise...

 
Spurs dreams of that tropical place,
 feeling sun’s warmth upon my face,
  where no cold shatters our embrace
   and we still share that last sunrise...

 
Feeling sun’s warmth upon my face
  hides winter’s chill within its guise
