How Fares the Day? |

How fares the day in feathered quilt To hide beneath lest you should wilt In coloured dreams left from the night And morning rays in gladdened sight How fares the day now new begun Rise up anew and greet the sun How fares the day when morning sun Signals that the day moves on When shadows call and tasks do too And there are many things to do How fares the day when noon is near To bring about the songs of cheer How fares the day when afternoon Disappears too much, too soon When still the tasks remain undone And race you with the waning sun How fares the day in shadows stall When midday meets the evening's call How fares the day when even song Calls you in, says day is done When shadows fall on idle hands And life is freed from its demands How fares the day when time for rest Becomes at last by shadows blest How fares the day when midnight nears And dark of night will still your tears Where comfort is a bear grown cold In darkness deep alone and old How fares the day when depth of night Is met by wings of angel flight How fares the day when quilted dawn Sheds the dark and dons new morn. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Keth darling sister of my soul and hearts eternal light, your writing is without doubt so incredibly amazing, to write the day from dawn to another dawn is so innovative, and original. Your writing is spellbindingly perfect it simply falls on my soul like a whisper of wonder, breathed in awe by an angel. You always manage to cloak my soul in an aura of delight. Your words fall like moonlit shadows that grace the ground with silvered light. This is purely an Ohhhhh of softness stroking my skin with a hint of promises. I love it utterly utterly, YOU never cease to amaze me and always I value your writing. You can tell can’t you, drat I wonder what gives me away It must be my delicate hint of I love this utterly utterly that does it, hmmmmm? As always Mushy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

Goodness, this is very wonderfully well written and a very vivid portrayal of a very beautiful imagination that you possess. I really love your rhyming scheme, this is one of the best poems I have read in a while. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

How fares the day when even song Calls you in, says day is done When shadows fall on idle hands And life is freed from its demands How fares the day when time for rest Becomes at last by shadows blest This is absolutely beautiful, Keth... You used some gorgeous imagery. ~ loving hugs Lyra |
