Sunset And Stars

I had a dream that there I stood
As I hoped I always would
With desert sand benieth my feet
Relishing in it's suns heat

I spread my arms and closed my eyes
Inhaled the smells, You know why?
For the sunset is on it's way
To put and end to this perfect day

But the night sky in all it's glory
Will add a chapter to this story
For the stars and galaxies
In the desert are easier to see

My man and I snuggle there
With the cooling of night air
And search the sky with all our hope
Gazing through his telescope

A perfect Utopia you have created, and an exquisite write to keep the dreamers dreaming... Lovely.

Familiar imagery which makes me wonder, Connie, what do you hope to find through that telescope?

Mark,
One answer would be
The Enitity of Infinity....
What would you be gazing for?

Sandra,
Thanks... It gives me great pleasure to
evoke imagery and emotion
Something I never even thought
I could do

Thanks

Connie, I'd probably be gazing for a semblance of hope to keep my ideal regarding the good in humanity alive...

Very nice write, Zinsser...I really enjoyed this...

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

Mark: Look in the mirror...see it's right there. Don't look at the reflection...Look past to the Enitity of Infinity.Thats where the hope is ALIVE. When you see it there, then you can start to see it other places too.

Snowpants: Thanks... it was fun to write
Simple & yet... If you knew me...complex

Sunshine: Thank You really....

Interloper Thank You... I love the "gr8"
