They fell Into the darkened skies that overwhelmed earth’s dance as fingers deftly plied dew laden flowers and kissed the waiting morn. They grasped a heart’s beat....as laughter strode silently into the dawn, and a tunneled burrow kept closed a predator’s eyes before death again stalked the fields in search of a timid mouse. They knew time carried the eve as death whispered into preening ears and a cougar’s roar danced the walls of echoed songs while fires awoke the dew and a ooyote’s yip startled the restless and terrified rat awaiting the rattle’s wicked sound....again, once again. |

Magnus~ I love reading you ... and this is just ONE of the reasons why - 'as fingers deftly plied dew laden flowers and kissed the waiting morn.' *sighs* from Florida coming your way~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Not surprised that you don't understand it. Sometimes, it just comes out that way and the sense of it is in my head....Duhhhh. It is a night...transition to night, a time where animals stalk, where some lie deathly quiet in wait of prey or a predator. That is basically what it is about.... Thanx for the reply... |

Barry....I like the the feeling in this...sort of somewhere dark and mysterious, almost bad, but not because that's how beauty sometimes looks. If that makes any sense.  |
