It tucks into each glass,
waiting to be sipped.

A cool spot on the pillow
fills up with its ice.

It washes stones in the light late,
proving blue is colored snow.

We swallow, follow down,
swallowed by the sky.

All the trees are breathing
moonlight in their leaves.

Car lights paint a slant of wall
as they slide away.

We are left in quiet rooms
talking to ourselves

within measures paused and breathing,
slowly spreading towards the day.

Stella was a diver and she was always down.

Mikey - I am beginning to understand you and quite frankly - it scares me (hehehe):

We swallow, follow down,
swallowed by the sky.

I too am one with the night . . . the moonlight - she is my companion . . . amazing writing here yet again . . . I love this . . . xxoo

(and if you even come back with a diff interpretation - grrr . . . well then you have got me thinking still . . . and that is a good thing)

Got a "downtown hotelroom" feeling from this. Darkish and lonely.

And lovely

Damn, but you're writing well!

Mike, this line echoes through my being:

"All the trees are breathing moonlight in their leaves..."

I do not believe that I will ever be able to look at tree bathed in moonlight, without thinking of you!

You, Dear One, are indeed a POET!

Love & Moonlight,
Linda

talking to ourselves

slowly spreading towards the day.

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine

I will remember you
