The Power of Words

Gazing into the heavens at clouds
while waiting for evening to fall
and lay a blanket of black velvet
over a land settling for sleep

All the night sounds add to the magic
of romance that whispers in thewind
the music to serenades lovers
who flirt across the paths of star-fields

Violin strings couldn’t be sweeter
than the individual sounds of
crickets singing under a full moon
blending with the beat of natures song

An owl whoo hoots in a tree nearby
warning its prey it’s time to come play
making distant lovers share a smile
knowing the timeless rhythm of life

The essence of fireflies brings delight
seeing fairies fluttering about
filling the night with magical glow
tiny lights sent for lovers only

Now gazing into heavens star-paths
they share a night made just for lovers
not knowing what the future can hold
understanding the power of words

My my Karen this is such a nice gentle peaceful write.
The contact with nature is so fulfilling the way you express it.

"Violin strings couldn’t be sweeter

Very very nice work, it relaxed me as I read it.

You combine nature, sound and the elements in your work that make the reader awed with your wordplay. You are at the top of the Blue Room's list of combining all three of the things I have mention, but always, always, you bring love into the equation. That takes it to the nth degree.

Reading your words brings a peaceful respite into a busy day... It's most welcome. And your poem is most wonderful. *S*
