In the Moment

Tucked ‘neath arched branches of late summer green,
Nestled hidden ‘tween autumn’s hues unseen.
‘Prisoned not by swelter of summer still
But in search of ‘morrow’s restless until.

In this moment, a swell sans ceded sigh,
As thoughts travail in chains of by and by.
Of prophecy willed by prisoner’s plea-
Summer’s shadow once cast shall set me free.

Yet, no freedom found with pendulum’s sway
As summer slumbers where Autumn now lay.
And shades I thought would be flaunted anew
Remain pale and mute in my autumn view.

For ‘twas not season that held prison’s key,
But moments not lived when moments must be.

I know a moth who is going to flutter
all over this - the that it is...

I enjoyed the preview...
I am enjoying the final even more...

This is very introspective, but darned if those old thoughts don't just follow you thru all the seasons. The little boogers just hang around, don't they. I hope you find the key soon. Angels watch over you.
Love,

(smiles) You always make prisms dance and carols be sung in every poetic moment you unfold, sweet friend, music is the universal language and in this moment you brought one natural symphony to life, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Beautifully done.....

.....and this

"For ‘twas not season that held prison’s key,
But moments not lived when moments must be."

is so very very true.....
