Listening to every heart

It's quiet now.

So quiet, even the crickets
are sleeping.
This, is the pensive time, the pondering time,
when shadows of moonlight play over
hills and valleys, and blind men
read signs with fingertips touching warm...

it's quiet now.

Breathing comes to one,
the fine hairs on the nape of one's neck
feels the air of longing,
and it is easy enough to turn in.

But the moon pulls...it wakes one
and brings them to the window
to peer up...and in clear skies,
it is a magnificence unto itself.

Only a lover would see the light then,
cast down upon the one standing
at the window...
and perhaps can even sense
the deep soul sound of song as it
trembles the body...

a quiet come home
would suffice...

it's quiet now,
but the moon
may soon hear another song,
and climb a little higher
into the heavens.

he surely will if he reads this....
youve written a sky sigh.
lovely lovely lovely....

Oh this is a wonderful poem.  So refreshing and clean.

I get tired of my own cleverness. I like to read -real poetry-.  Yours here is -it-

beautiful, sensitive.  Every word there fits a thought you alone bring to me.

thank you

And the song does arrive, doesn't it? One of them found its way here just now.

I know that quiet and those moonbeams. Such a calm and delightful bit of writing, dear lady. I loved this!

hugs, Marti

Sighing, once, twice...thrice...

Beautiful images you have painted.

Thanx Sun,  for such tranquility.
