Just put the things in!

I will go past how a tortoise ordered solar lights

 From Publishers Clearing House.

That is in the past.

After berating Tala,

 moving him from his lingering conversation,

   which he claims is with his muse,

Finally.

Peaceful colors slowly played across the Garden.

Best to keep some from tripping over me while I sleep.

You are quite the poetic master of metaphor, I have always liked that about your poetry Jon, keeps the reader thinking and the poetry reads like a personal journey more than story :)

I ramble, and the lights do add to the backyard.
Helps hide my blush!
