It fell on summer night long, long ago
as ancient waterfalls gleamed cold
under the tremulous starlight mirrored upon it,
dark was the night, loud were the waters,
laughing in its myriad of endless music;
the stars roll by as years go by,
the ancient sun burns without mercy,
long, long ago were the opal rocks tall,
like mountains, and water crystal-clear as ice,
and my tears gone forever in deep;
the stars pulse wildly, with sheer brightness
as the heavens open in such vastness-
my fingers reach for the stars
and a ring of fire forms around my fingers,
then I think of fountains,
when a great fountain emerges out of the ground
shining with pure crystal light, its waters
a mirror of fate, a mirror of the years beyond-
the Mirror of Galadriel it is called,
shining with moonlight, mirroring the sky,
and mirroring the starlight;
tall were the waterfalls, upon pineclad heights,
the flowers were resting
and the world never stopped spinning.
I thought of the trees, and the clouds melted away
as canopies started to cover the empyrean skies,
and some trees were three to four feet wide,
and some had ladders hanging down,
so I put my foot on one of the rope ladders,
and started climbing high and higher,
unafraid of any danger, unaware of death,
for the fearless knoweth not dread-
the tree's green leaves eclipse the moon,
and the shadows froze within my face;


P.S.- This one never got finished. I just wanted to show one that could really make you read it "differently" if you know what I mean?

You are so smart Artur at times you leave me gasping!!!  Accept me on icq too please  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

wow you write with very descriptive imagery,
very beautiful reading...great work,
take care, jm

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Isis- I just like trying many different styles, creating new moods. No one has gotta be a whiz to do that. : )

Janet- Thank you again for the kind words. : )
