 The sun pierces, emerging through spiderwebs of branches: Burnt by heat and hardened by frost. White needles beams Fingertips of heaven Reaching out to scratch.. perhaps my eyes or mosquito bites on a child's knee. A gentle angel manicure, broken from too much thunder bowling. Windowshades attempt to hide my face from peering lashes. The skies swirl scarlet, puce, and gold And soothe the tempermental king of the sun. He sleeps. Sister moon silver contrast against velvet ocean expanse. Cubic zirconia stars scatter and settle into Cassiopeia and Orion. Night reigns. |

The skies swirl scarlet, puce, and gold And soothe the tempermental king of the sun. He sleeps. Sister moon silver contrast against velvet ocean expanse. Cubic zirconia stars scatter and settle into Cassiopeia and Orion. Night reigns. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You've painted an awful pretty picture with your words, Nancy~ Very lovely, Lady~ |

Beautiful metaphor... "A gentle angel manicure, broken from too much thunder bowling. Windowshades attempt to hide my face from peering lashes." The world needs read more of it, the explaining of the earths sensuality, both steady and radical...when normal language will not suffice... Thank you Nancy for taking me on this journey, For walking me this morning through your view of reigning night.... -----------ice ><> |

That is one thing I miss, living as I do in Southern California....really, there just isn't any night, not the real kind. There's a period when the light you have is mainly the weak pinkish-gray of sodium vapor lamps reflected off those dull marine layer clouds, but no night. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
