Under the stars upon the wind

0 posted 2001-02-28 09:46 PM



Upon a bed daisies
I lay my sleep filled head
There in the dark of night
The pull of sleep I must fight

For I must be awake for the kiss of life..

The stars of the universe watch from above
The silence broke by the a lone mourning dove
Thoughts of the past, future, and today.
With the clouds they simply slip away..

Do they feel the kiss of life??

As I watched the east from a far
Awaiting the appearance of a star
I see a spiral of hues
and feel upon my cracked lips the awaking of dew..

The kiss is coming...

Then I close my eyes and begin to feel
Upon my lips a slow melting warmth does steal
I open my eyes to the sun's showering rays
And on my lips a promise of better days..

Voiceless
Oh my goodness... This was simply excellent. The visual I got from this one with the dew, the sun, and finally the kiss was just wonderful. Marge Tindal wrote earlier about a "Spring Fling." Between the both of you, I tempted to stay up all night to get my "Kiss of Life" & have my "Spring Fling" all at the same time.
Awesome write. Beautiful.

Yes, they are a great promise indeed and one that you can count on. Simply awesome write and the imagery was beautiful to say the least. I love the way you express yourself in this piece and I find much comfort in your words here. In my library with this one.

A very positive and enchanting work! I enjoyed the warmth of the anticipation! Good work!!
