Howling Moon |

Reaching, stretching... hands entwined, out into the darkness, as countless stars shine brightly. Tracing lightly, a delicate finger outlines the smallest crescent of what before had been a lover’s moon.. Quiet falls all around as a hush transcends a meadow to but an extension of the heavens above. Giggling, stifling the urge to release an animal instinct.... as a shadow creeps slowly, ever steadily toward completeness....being one... As animals sense fear, passions are drawn from the edge of night. Toes trace the grasses, flowers trace ears....A light sip of the vine’s nectar brings forth the most delicate kiss.... ....as the eclipse peaks.... a Loon calls the still of night and eyes dance the night as lovers laugh and howl to a Howling Moon.... |

"....as the eclipse peaks.... a Loon calls the still of night and eyes dance the night as lovers laugh and howl to a Howling Moon...." Wonderful write Barry!! Especially love the part above. I missed it as it was very cloudy here.. Hope you had a better glimpse. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

How well written, the passions of the lover's moon...eclipsed in the negligee of a moment in time. Smiles from TD |

a very loving write and well written, as the lone wolf cries for his mate with his song of love. It matters not how you answer, It matters only that i hear you. |
