Gentle Ghosts

Gentle Ghosts

A Poem by Kate Henderson

Dreams, 
Fragile beauty of the mind 
Sky-colours that slip between the sheets 
And paint the night with memories 

Gentle ghosts, they are 
That live within 
And wait for night to emerge 
From the frosts of day

Sounds like the first frost of winter somewhere at the end of October Where the leaves have left the trees and the frost is on the Pumpkin and a ghostly Night ahead.

sorry i just want to read more now u seem like an amazing poet
Very beautiful imagery you have here. You give a personality to dreams which is something unique and quite profound. Every line matters to the poem, and gives its own unique insight. I feel like dreams are something everyone likes to cover in their writing, but again you do it in a unique way. Very, very well done. ~Never Forget

Hey thanks for your review, i don't really think it's dark but it's open to interpretation!
Dark, with a good dose of eerie, particularly "that live within and wait for the night to emerge". I like the idea of gentle ghosts, something not to be feared but admired in coexistence. Good to read another dark writer and I loved the bio :) Penny
