It's late
and the shadow has passed
over the moon
with the whisper of time
into the night.

The heavens
now darkened on the way
to midnight
bare of starlight
shroud by cloud.

A darkness
so deep as to be felt
that I could slip
into the velvet
this curtain of sky.

But, it's late,
and the shadow has passed
over the moon
with the whisper of time
into the night,

and the moment

is now gone.

WhiteRose

The White Rose~
A simple expression
of classic beauty.

isn't that always the way, by the time you have captured the moment it has gone? Loved the soft feel of this.

WhiteRose, This is much as last nights' sky was. Great dark swirling images.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

White Rose...I agree with Lyra. A wonderful poem. A moment in time captured by you in this poem...Paul
