Excuse this futile attempt at something poetic...

Stars loom silently in the
Cool air of night,  bracing
For the crash of dawn….a
Dawn of silence and fallen
Crests…a dawn of deepening
Thoughts and timeless jests…


A dawn conspired from molten
Hearts and long departs. From
Falling clouds of comet’s dust
And meteoric falls till now or bust.

From heartfelt sighs and  blue green
Eyes…and smiles that one might
Recognize….From stews that steam
And smell so swell and dreams that
One may never tell.

Pass the sugar Please,  dawn is
Waiting for the old porch swing
To creak and everyone went to
Bed early….

and the band plays on.

I love it
especially this part...

FUTILE ATTEMPT?????

Barry, you never ever write anything that is a futile attempt...all you write are sounds of poetic music, and this, is no exception.
