Chiffon blows freely in the evening breeze
To stir the slightest ebb of sunset to its knees
Taupe in touch of ginger seems too still to lie
In the last commencement of the days gone by

Tablets set in stubborn etch succumb the tide
Drifting in the surf another wave to ride
Trimmed of dark organza into pillow talk
Reaching through the starlight traced in pastel chalk

Mood of beams that liken to a distant call
Billows in the backdrop of a mighty fall
Tickling each finger stretched to see by feel
Poking into vapor molds a vacuum seal

Silver threads that wisp along a fragile fine
Skirted every notion there your hand in mine
Looking into moonlight on a pulse of white
Scenes to draw my smile in it’s ever light

Exquisite,  my dear~
Your word pictures have a way of taking me there.
