Winter’s Midnight Light Silently, absorbed in the mirror of the snow My breath curls reluctantly into the crisp night air Such reverence bestowed upon a sleeping earth Calm as no other, overturns the barter of a busy day Quelling time’s thirsty speed, rocked gently to the songs of aurora Wings folded, puffed upon hidden branches Attuned to their wake up calls, I know these secret places Strangely quieted, beneath the stroke of whispering stillness Most times, I too would sleep through the hour Summoned I suppose, for my own lullaby and good night My mind makes journey, whispering percussion Wishing you this peaceful place, by heart to heart discussion Reflection of the passing on of ribbon colored sighs Speaking into prayerful hush, my thoughts to His ear Winter’s midnight light astounds me, every single tear Copyright kkh 2/19/08 |

I am quite fond of lines and images such as: “breath curl(ing) reluctantly into the crisp night air”; “songs of aurora”; “Calm…overturn(ing) the barter of a busy day”; “wake up calls…(of) secret places”; That “stroke of whispering stillness” and “Winter’s midnight light” Applause!! |
