Unfinished thoughts were about
in the air.

It was out there in the desert that
I saw the clouds hanging low...

Darkness congregating.
Then vanishing.

Gray, gray landscape -
Dry as the tongue which would
speak to the sun and cold as the
corridors of the mind.

This place was certainly born
here tonight.  

The moon says so and the
stars refrain.

But it is the ground which listens
and waits for the coming footsteps.
And it is yet the ground which
will move here tonight.

Oh stars - If I would have known
on the day I was born I would
have died that day.

Oh moon - It would be fine to
be as realistic as something very
old to shine as one so young.

Oh ground - I will lie here and
wait with you.

Perhaps sleep.
Perhaps dream.

Very descriptive poetry that makes me think a bit deeper than usual and also to consider what lies beyond. Good job.

I certainly enjoyed this and saved it to read again as there are layers I have yet to go beyond I am sure.
