Tender Mercies |

Tender Mercies~ You were the love of yesternight, You were the language of August, Steamy and river-lazy, An awakening long thought dormant, Fevered in those dog-days, Sweetly stained mulberry, and Heart bruised. You slipped in quietly on midnight floorboards, Stayed till the golden hour fell into sawdust... Till cold crept small of back. Now, in the middle of nowhere She makes tasty fudge, Creates Poem titles that drip from a crescent moon, While the rumor of Spring scratches Just beneath dunes of diamond dust. Winter has but a few sleeps left Til the great thaw transforms into sweet rains.. A melodic drenching she revels in, Green eyes upon Green, Hope, Endures. ©Augustsky |

A blessing to see you here, ~Sky. Always amazes me how your touches on nature and season can relate so well to other aspects in life. |
