 ~Night Reverie~ Twilight walks the land in silent hush, tentacles of darkness creep up without rush. Warm breath of gray wraps so tenderly, crickets tune for the nightly symphony. Small tree frogs of green croak for rain, as the hot summer night begins again. Shooting stars fall in a fiery cascade, as the orange embered sun's memory fades. The silver etched moon makes its nightly rise, Heaven's lighthouse glowing across ebony skies. A summers mist curtain drapes across the lake, as emerald raindrops shimmer, the night fairies awake. Magical night of dancing rings, and fairy things, night's breeze sigh of woodland kings and queens. Darken tree limbs move in gentle prance hares and hinds lead the forest into a dance. Ghostly wings add their own whispered tune as the mist takes its leave to reveal the moon. Luna's beams reflect on the lake in sparkling glisten, butterfly fairies sing lullabies, the forest falls silent to listen. Winged children of the night gather awaiting mystic winds, for now they play, before the dawn's arrival they will ascend. In scampering frolic on the forest's leafy, feathered, floor, in innocent reverie they discover the magic the night has in store. As half the world sleeps, this innocent world holds its keep, embracing night in splendor's reap, the forest keeps its secret deep. If only all could know, what begins when night wind blows, the tiny light of fireflies slows, the stage of life in its glows. Silvery moon is now on high with its smiling face in the sky, the tender songs, sweet matching cries, rival dancers daring tries. To those who won't believe in the magic of fairies at play, witness with wonderment before night gives way to day. There is purpose in the nightly rituals of their quested toil and toll, promising the earth's rebirth, summons the seasons of their vested goal. To bestow a kiss of bliss upon each petal with morns mystical dew, ensuring each and every blossom bursts in blessed blooming renew. As the new day's dawn arrives ... they take silent flight with mornings light ... with the return of eve's twilight, they will again dance in the reverie of night.  ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~  ** thank you so much Logan ... for the invitation, pleasure, and honor of writing with you. Most of all thank you for indulging my moody muse.  only you could give love that satisfies the soul... see the darkness of my heart and still won't let me go.

Would that I could pen such imagination, for surely there's a feel of emancipation, It seems my world's of concrete, glass and steel and forever closing up another deal. Enjoyed the respite. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

If Felix Mendelsohn were alive, he would score this. If I had the time, so would I, but for now, I can hear the orchestral tones and melodies in my head as I read this amazing description. Ethereal and effervescent. Most magical, you two. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

Now you two make a wonderful team. The imagery along with the rhyme works beautifully, the cadence is as magical as the poem itself and of course a journey into a realm that we all would love to be able to see was a real treat indeed. Heck, I don't even mind that JM blew me off to write with you Logan. I can understand why. Sorry JM, you knew that I would say something to rub it in didn't ya? LOLAgain, this was superb writing from both of you. |

Gosh....Let's see, the only word I can think of is....PUBLISH! Yes that's it. What parent would not love to read this to their child at night, lulling them sleepy with such soothing words of magic. Or even reading to myself each night in beautiful, dreamy illustration! I believe you have some takers here! Sincerely, Regina |

Thank you all very very much for these wonderful replies...and as you can see by his reply my partner in rhyme for this is MUCH to humble and generous... Logan that honor runs both ways and this poems inspire and credit is yours. It was your first verse that set the tone and allowed the poem to find its direction, I thank you for your gracious and kind reply, gentle poet of the fire. Thank you all, and I look forward to writing with Logan again. peace and poetry jm |

Late again! I don't think I have to tell you how special this is you two, I printed it, read it to one of the worst critics I know, my Granddaughter, and she wanted more! And so do I, when is th next one? This is the way fantasy is supposed to be - leave you smiling with a sense that you have been part of something quite magical! Well done both of you, and I must say you are naturals writing together, so let's have another? ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance.

Man, you two are dynamic when you lock words, pleeaassee do another one? ~*Homepage*~ http://www.mysteria-poetry.cityslide.com/contents/contents.cfm/722155 |

What a mystical collaboration of dancing beauty. It was like turning on a video of action and profound imagery. I echo all that was said before me... (sorry for the tardiness) I stand and applaud with much appreciation and awe. Love and peace Maggie ((~.~)) |
