Penned On Parchment

In the quiet solitude of the evening
she sit's alone in this room she loves
surrounded by it's familiar warmth.

With her quill poised in gloved hand
the lit candle provides glowing light
illuminating in flickers from the mantle.

Aromatic scents of lilac on the breeze
waift gently through the open window
as her mind drifts along in endless query.

The sounds of a lonesome train whistle
blowing in the distance reminds her
that it is now midnight and time to slumber.

The passing train clickity clacks
down the tracks as the night
again grows silent in it's solitude.

She thwarts the idea of sleep
with her mind now full of images
she rises to sit at her writing desk.

Ever so delicately she dips the quill
in the never ending bottle of ink
touching it to the aged parchment.

Slightly the parchment does crackle
as her thoughts flow from spirit to page
as once again the poet within emerges.

Penned in eternity on the aged parchment
written with the eloquence of her soul
she writes this, the journey of her life.

Softly the breeze blows through yon window
drying the ink, capturing this moment of life
slumber now returns as she drifts off to dream.

{RP}

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna

Have you been peeking at what I have
written? Seriously...NOT..... I know
better, but I do know that I have gone
through that scene in my mind a hundred
times as well as written something similar
about 10 or so...Fun, isn't it?

The gloved hand...made me wonder what she was going to do after she started writing or what had she just returned from doing. Lovely writing, Donna girl! *hugs*....jo
