Enswathed in charcoal twilight Liquid sorrow seeps Plunging through the swarming stars When lonely eyes do weep. Lady Luna's breath stands frozen Prayers iced in time Moistened by an angel's flutter In yearning so sublime. Midnight fades to the coming glow Of Apollo's ribboned rays The anguish of the smothering black Falls with approaching day. Bitterness imprisoned deep within Melds with loving grace As the ache of dreams now lost Leaves my tranquil face. A soul untangled from worldly weight Set free to always soar Past iron gates of drenching sorrow And through love's open door. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

Beautiful poem, Krista! I'd rank this as one of your greatest... I loved lines like "Enswathed in charcoal twilight" and "Past iron gates of drenching sorrow." I loved this one  Abrahm Simons "...Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose" - Trent Reznor, "We're in this Together" |

Wow!!!!! A soul untangled from worldly weight Set free to always soar Past iron gates of drenching sorrow And through love's open door. That's my favorite verse....no hang on...they all are!!! Another huge success For the Twilight Poetess!! Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Enswathed in charcoal twilight Liquid sorrow seeps Plunging through the swarming stars When lonely eyes do weep. Lady Luna's breath stands frozen Prayers iced in time Moistened by an angel's flutter In yearning so sublime. ---------------- this is EQUISITE!!! your imagery is always SO superb... and thank you SO much for your sincere and kind reply tonite...I am most humbled that my words might evoke emotion in you. thanks, truly take care, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

That was most beautiful Krista! I agree with Abe, 'tis one of your best! I especially love your first stanza: "Enswathed in charcoal twilight Liquid sorrow seeps Plunging through the swarming stars When lonely eyes do weep." Stars are symbols of so many things, you used it well! I enjoyed much! "It is in our aloneness that we recognize our oneness, even as the single droplet of water knows also that it is the sea."Daniel *Cassie Roseen* |
