Promise Of Spirit The sun settled to welcome the twilight God painted skies, covering valleys far, and somewhere, out over the horizon someone was wishing on a distant star. Somehow it was this scene recalled to me a sing-song lilt, some welcome rhapsody a held back breath, to see a calm in dusk a gold gone moment, that held me so free In dimming sky, a majestical view visions replayed within these hues of red magic of moment, held in tranquility the sun resting upon its earthen bed. Twas then and there, in the dust of this day I beheld a spirit, in dance of warm for light backlit her gown in airy play I held my breath, to not disturb her form In shimmer of moon, I watched the ballet a floating on air, soft sighing of breeze spirit now learning to find her own way into moments held, and visions she sees. Did I dare speak thus, "O, apparition?" in moonlight's glimmer, a sparkle of light I should have held back, deny intuition, my spirit, a willow, moving slow this night I could not but help to join in the dance amongst twinkling stars, and silver moon but did I dare to partake of this chance to dance the heavenly, mystical tune? Dawn would come before this night is complete, my willow's spirit, now lost in sun's light but a promise, to me, day would repeat hie towards the skies, come this next twilight... {Karilea, thank you for allowing me to repost this piece near and dear to my heart} |

Did I dare speak thus, "O, apparition?" in moonlight's glimmer, a sparkle of light I should have held back, deny intuition, my spirit, a willow, moving slow this night remarkable haunting...grpping fabulously, like a timepiece to a dream which comes alive...wakes up... Oh yes, yes, dare speak!!!! |

Thank you, dear, for bringing this back. I must admit, I cannot recall who wrote what, but it feels as good now, as it did then. |
