In Your Poetic Mind

The city sleeps in
Fading light,
Glass rainbows
Shower the flowers of
Earth

Shadow and light
Echo on stone
In my hands,
A symphony,
A reminder
Of time

Three am becomes
Meaningless,
Never ending,
Clearing the veil
Of ragged edges
In various stages

I know I have walked
This road before
With every thought
With every motion
Yet, the riddle spoken
Can not wipe the tears

As I watch
The moon dance away
We move above dark waters

The bottlemaker silent
*****


Tomorrow's another day
and I'm thirsty any way
so bring on the rain

Stunning write, Lauren.  There is nothing like exploring the city while she sleeps.  Nice imagery.

What an original title and message
throughout, Lauren, this really had
the visions going in my mind.  Very
nicely done and flowed right down the
page as you always do

Shaping it...smoothing it...creating it...and it has become a thing of beauty....BRAVO!!!!The vision I had of this was unique and perfect...though having done it many times before each was unique and rare...That is how I felt this poem. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

As I watch
The moon dance away....
Lovely Lauren, just lovely.  


On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

My first impressions were that of someone blowing glass, rolling, tapping ... forming a unique shape of something to come.
I still feel this way but the "riddle" has evaded me.
Another excellent write, well deserving a few more reads .... I may be back!!

Glass rainbows
moon dancing
darker waters
the bottle-maker silent
you tie this together to make
all your words
flow with harmony

A little cryptic but I suspect that is intentional.  I get the feeling you're describing something at two different levels.

Very haunting and pleasing poem to read.  Really quite well done.

Lauren - oh, this is soft and lovely. Your words as always paint a picture in my mind. Chris
