Night Purrs

Standing at the edge of the garden
Dimly lit spires of reverent dutch
Hushed in colors of collected rain
I knelt to see the sky from their vantage
Came the contented songs at their will
A shiver of intoxication drawn in my breath
Almost as Alice, perceived in Cinderella shoes
I listened as darkness stroked each sound
A magical place, despondent to vision
My unnecessary eyes closed to hear
Clearer sang the orchestra of tranquility
Cloud cover sat low, filtering the moon
And night purrs kept company with dreams

Again out of that mystic night comes painted words that light our night!

these were visions at they're very finest...
blessed my soul this morning...what a lovely write
