The soft sigh of morning brushes through the newborn foliage, stirring the azure morning mist with soft hands that twirl about, catching the tips of flowering buds rising from the ground As dawn approaches with careful tread the floor of nature flows with movement as the darkness recedes from the shallows and niches, taking with it the cooling dew and stillness of the night Flitting moths find their daylight bosoms in the bark of ageless grating oaks while the sounding of jabbering loons echoes across the lake, falling against immobile rocks lining the lapping shore All is never still, even in the brief silences of spring breezes that sweep the sounds from my ears, but then return again in whispers of melodies that to most always remain unheard The solace of tranquility involutes and passes through all my senses, as I gather the strands and threads from the gifts that this morning gives to those who have the patience to listen |

*sigh* such a vision of beauty you have woven here, my friend. I love every word of it as I stopped, saw and listened to the vision you wove. Much love to you from me. Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |

You brought me there still yet again...I absolutely adored this: "Flitting moths find their daylight bosoms in the bark of ageless grating oaks..." that was not only a very vivid visual for me, but also a fitting metaphor..lol, and... curious, did you write all THREE of these tonight? Wow... |
