The still of silence in the air-- a hunch to put my ear to ground. A siren sounds--oh-be-aware-- I heard the hooves in heartbeat's pound. I'm grateful to be made of stone-- I wish my moat were ocean's keep. You make me glad to be alone. A drawbridge raised--the princess sleeps. I cannot offer welcome fair. My darkness is my own remorse. I remember fire's flare. You have become the Trojan Horse. There is no gift to offer me-- nothing lowers bridge of trust. I raise the drawbridge warily-- protecting castle turned to dust. |

Across the moat from drawbridge raised, Sitting in dew moist grass in lasting wait, To be allowed to sing to beauty to be praised, A need only a meeting of souls will sate. I strum my thirteen string lute sadly My minstrel song forms to breach the wall The defiant moat I would swim gladly If you would but hear and give me the call. But from silent wall of cold wrought stone, Come only echoed sound of lute’s melody, No harmony for me I play this song alone With drawbridge raised to isolate me. Gloom |

Thy bridge of trust weather worn from times gone bust in torn as horses of the hidden faces have forced thee to dark spaces.. Excellently written serenity...I get the message L and C.....(loud and clear)... we used to call it "Lima Charlie" |

A great poem, Karen... but I must tell you, my friend...as one who is getting there fast....when you get old, you do need a lot more maintainance...so maybe you ought to take DS up on that WD40 massage...LOL  ~ lots of hugs from an old broadLyra |

 (smiles) Yes, quickly let in all that makes you happy and blesses your life than lower that portcullis on everything else and decorate it with a portiere! (kiss on cheek) You always express yourself so wonderfully, sweet friend, your writings are awesome, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
