Paint the sky with petals
of a thousand flowers
trace the star-cast shadows

that I could breathe again
upon earth:

I fell into darkness
into your amber midnights
your naked hope laying beside
me

Whispers fell upon curves of
the moon
soft yields in silence

echoing how winter feels
when snow falls
gentle dancers

touching the world
of my eyes

{you loved winter, the
ice storms}

I sometimes failed
to cross the silent
borders of your thoughts

I, the lover, counting
anxious hours of loss--
veiled light, bronze colors
glitter of unnamed stars

moving my lips skyward

{I am where I need to be} an
angel between worlds in endless water
pool of tender blue


how my dreams arrive:


I fell for hours
splashing into stars

Beautiful, I love your work as well Misty. You have a superb talent on your hands. Never let it go.

A hauntingly exquisite poem, Misty. You have really outdone yourself on this one. A new favorite of yours for me. You left me with my jaw on the floor. Incomparable imagery. I loved it!

Kevin
