To Those That Ask

come thee,
rapture!

come,
curtain call!

who knows when
it might fall

that night of the
where,

and
the night of when

and if it will
come again

pray it might
pray it should

come again
'twas once good

shall it be
so good again

to know of where
and thus, the when?

always know
of what one speaks

tho tempest blows
before it peaks

and shadows fall
on quarrel tendered

when actually
love should render

its beauty's thrill
of love in splendor

come again
thee dusky light

and give the living
up to night

Rapture
peaks
in twilight mist

Hour
set
in hidden time

Cast the net
shower the sea


Come thee
to those that ask
answers stated
promise given

Grasp the cloud
hug the shadow

Luna's up
beams crossed
in night of hours
wooden owl cries

take heed to life
take not to death

Bring forth the living
quench the thirst
for all that seek
the power of life

===================

Wonderful write from you my friend.  Loved the promise with the heeded word.

Oh Kari! This is soooo good, it's really really fabulous. Loud applause, and cheers from me, (Yes I know, I'm noisy, but well you know me love, can't ever be quiet!) Actually love I can, I've lost my voice! Kari all your work is brilliant, and this is sublime, I really love it, every single word is wonderful. Still if I had to choose one part it would be this

Pray it might
pray it should

Come again
'twas once good

Shall it be
so good again

Utterly perfect, really great. I'll E you next week I promise, take care Kari

Encore! encore!  That's why a encore cannot be xperienced except at the height of that moment. High andlows are a fact, aren't they?
Very descript and versatile, among other thoughts, enjoyed very much.   Star

It shall come again
And it will not be
"Just as good" -
It will be better -
For we are better -
We have the belief-
We're willing
To give ourselves to it -
It shall be!

this one of yours - is going directly to my treasure box
