A Sea of Silence / An Echo In Time

Today the rains played on my mind.
At first they trickled through the grays.
A soothing noise, they carried me
In arms of dreaming, through the haze.

I saw it coming, darkness all.
It almost reached within my mind.
The beating on the window panes
Made viewing you too hard to find.

A shadow crossed and stood in front
In silent cry, withdrawal kissed.
Seductive moon peeked in the night
And covered me in pearls of mist.

Then lightning crackled, the thunder roared
To flame the passions, light the night.
Illusions seeped to fill the void.
My heart had leaped, you came in sight.

Embracing each caressing word,
Moistened tears, dark moments rise,
Unfolding dreams, secured in myst
Beyond the shadows, loving eyes.

The pounding ceased, the raindrops quelled
As nighttime colours began their blend.
A sea of silence, an echo in time
An oasis to greet us at this day's end.

A wistful piece with an edearing conclusion -

'A sea of silence, an echo in time
An oasis to greet us at this day's end.'

Lovely thoughts.

Beautiful words
I felt connected
almost as if I was standing looking out the window

another beautiful piece MMoonchild ... nice flowing style ...

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

E. I borrowed the line "an oasis at days end."   I thought it was on a signature  of one of the poets on here..it may  be on dark passions I will try to give  the poet credit as soon as  this mind of mine recalls...sighhhhhh  that age thing getting to me...

soft thanks
