Silver Lining

My iron silver lining

bolts fly in the skies

the blackness of midnight 

hides behind my eyes

my surest surprise

a guilty delight

dancing on the dunes 

whilst awaiting sunrise 

bricks of gold reflecting

sparkling, glinting rays

the hands of wind lifting

my cotton as it sways

up and up

past the orange hues of day

over the depth of darkness

silently, I wait 

taking a seat in the misty clouds

eyelids falling gently down

my silver lining

- my heavenly delight

pray you unlock your gates for me

night after night.

We all need silver linings. I don't know why but I picked up here on Stonehenge and a summer solstice at sunrise and sunset. Hues of orange and a low sun. Now that was certainly a silver lining in my book. I liked what you have conveyed here and the feelings it gave me. Thank you.

This is pure awesomeness! I just love this. I wish I could write in a more whimsical way like this. You inspire me to try once again to loosen my grip on my storyline & let it float away . . . *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

It is such a huge compliment to read this from you Margie! When I read your poems, I am blown away at their intelligence, their structure and format, it's really amazing I don't know how you do it! :)

I don't think very much about a poem before or during writing it. Sometimes it just feels like I'm moving words around, trying to go for a certain sound or a bouncy mood or whatever. It always amazes me that it ends up having meaning, as well. Thanks for your kudos!

Ah - pure talent.... just as I suspected.. ;) x
