Rosewood go night there is a poem out there the sky is a sheet stretched upon bone a fallen sun lost in play gliding as if it had changed its mind a hard wood bleeding on the inside it only hurts a little torn it dangles in the breeze yet, what lingers with the trees from roots to leaves is a whisper from the wind it blows pale in darkest night against the skin of red purple rosewood of dwelling moon invited kissed it strongly marks the grain just some words cut out |

I liked it all, but this: "...what lingers with the trees from roots to leaves is a whisper from the wind" knocked me out. 8smile* |

go night there is a poem out there the sky is a sheet stretched upon bone a fallen sun lost in play gliding as if it had changed its mind a hard wood bleeding on the inside it only hurts a little torn it dangles in the breeze yet, what lingers with the trees from roots to leaves is a whisper from the wind ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this is such an amazing poem...
