 In The Shadows Of An October MoonAs Luna rides a full October moon illuminating my ebony sky. Evening falls, and somehow calmness rises. In the darkness of night there is silence, a gentle peace, stillness everywhere. I hear the voice of my "true self" whisper. On my knees before the moon with my ear pressed against the wall between my heart, and my soul, waiting, wishing, listening. Suddenly my spirit rises in the wake of a whisper to truth and hope. In this silence, I hear my heart speak of faith, love and forgiveness, as I kneel in the shadows of an October moon. midi ~ Moonlight Sonata graphic ~ artist unknown Should someone know who the artist is, kindly email me so I may give them credit. ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ |

Mysteria strikes again.... "with my ear pressed against the wall between my heart, and my soul, waiting, wishing, listening." and each day, I anxiously await for more of these lovely pictures and poems. Which came first, the pix, or the poem? Tehe...where do you get all your inspirations from? Don't tell, I'm quite happy to guess and to read. |

With brevity, you enhance each word with a little more clarity.... less is more and this is good! |

Sharon, I sank into the serenity of this well penned piece. A poetic portrait of nature's many wonders. A celestial work of lunar art. How your talent amazes me with every single write. Pen on artistic angel.  A true Picasso! Love and peace Maggie ((~.~)) |

NapalmsConstantlyConfused - What a lovely response and I am so glad you liked this one. Balladeer - Ask me if you made my day! Ask me, ask me Anikay83 - Thank you for taking the time to read this. Elizabeth - I shall take that as the highest compliment and I do thank you so much. I love how "exquisite" rolls off my lips Midnitesun - The sentiments in my heart were first this time - then the moon, then finding the graphic to tie it together. However, I have to tell the trust 9 out of 10 times music or art inspires the words with me, and that is why they are so varied I guess, thank you. Kit - The moon was full and so was my heart, so I am glad it meshed into something everyone enjoyed, thank you. Andy - You sat in this very chair and saw the same moon so you know it is so close you can almost touch it, and I am glad the "wake of the whisper" awoke your heart some A Whisper's Caress - Thank you, so you mean my tomboy image isn't showing? Sunshine - Thank you for "getting" this one, you always seem to dance through my heart. Flutterwings - Your comments are poems in themselves, and I do thank you for reading this one. Marge - I could swear I saw your face in that moon. Glad you were drawn hon. Sunshinemist - I am glad you enjoyed. Gentle Spirit - I am glad to be able to share my soul with you, and thank you. ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ |
