Curtain Of The Night

I listen to
the crickets paint
my mind bends
with no restraint
in this window
of the night
where forms change
out of light
then place my finger
to the pause
and hear the moon
and stars applause
candles light
within this spark
I grab at shadows
in the dark
I hear its sound
it does console
its very music
stirs my soul
the world stops now
quiet and still
colors change
shadows become real
and for one moment
out of time
I breathe this air
and call it mine

Wonderfully done, Helen.

love how this trickles down the page and down one's thoughts

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(smiles) Oh Helen, I just love this, sweet friend, it is indeed such a lovely feeling to be acquainted with shadows and to see light everywhere around you, sweet friend, I LOVE THIS, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
