![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us a zephyr moves the night giving the trees their soft sway rustling leaves 'neath the moon's glow bright tonight like a highlight from heavens' portal causing the dark to recede spotlighting the grass bending in cadence with the leaves as they quiver from the gentle wind a different kind of light cascades silently an open window curtains pulled allowing artificial light to subdue the night noise from inside the room penetrates and whispers as a pleasant smell wafts from within as the zephyr begins to grow in intensity window slams shut curtain shuts down the night leaves on the trees shimmy and dance but this time only the stars are observing ©July 31, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Sometimes the intensity of a storm is such that, even shutting yourself in, it lays claim to part of your soul. That, my friend, is an eerie feeling and you have captured it well. Love the pic as well. Michael |

Absolutely correct, Michael. I'm beginning to believe that our souls are fragile things and are fair game for the nefarious ways of the world. Thanks for stopping by. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I am glad I found this tonight, it fits the full moon atmosphere. Most beautiful really. Love the picture too of course. (Was just out and took a dozen pictures of the full moon, but it is difficult to capture the full magic ...). Very nice. Margherita |

Yes, it is very difficult to capture the magic of a full moon, Margherita, but we try don't we, we try and try again, hoping that maybe . . . I'm glad you found the poem tonight too, and thank you for stopping long enough to read and comment. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
