The embrace of morning...

The embrace of morning...

A Poem by An owl on the moon
"

I walked until I saw the last star of the night…

"

 

I walked until I saw

the last star of the night…

Chill air soft-stroking my cheeks

breathing out misted musings…

Houses sound asleep

sighing for daybreak…

I stopped and stared up

at the star waiting

as the sun-blushed sky

kissed the dawn

with cherry lips…

And I wished

oh not a subtle whisper

but a shouting entreaty

with a heart aching

for its homeplace…

There up in that winter sky

holding on to twilight

the star smiled

knew its job was done…

I puckered up my cold lips

and blew

and watched

as the last star

flickered

winked

and fell asleep

into the embrace

of morning…

awe, this is beautiful!! Kissing the star good night as it blinked out with the sun rise! Thanks for the view of the sunrise!! I'm a moonrise watcher and star gazer most nights of the year; sunrises for me are rare though I should witness more of them for I might see critters I miss by sleeping during the morning hours. Thanks for sharing your write!! Enjoyed it much!!

Craig,
you have a pen that only knows one thing..write beautiful, smooth pieces. Once again, you have done just that.
simply put, delightful and beautiful:-)

A serene peaceful feeling captured my mind and soul as I read this... what a beautiful capturing of a moment in time with nature... an actually snapshot with a digital camera couldn't have done it better.

so damn smooth, such relaxing beauty. Almost a lullaby in many ways, definitely a piece i shall have to read time and time again.
Your ability to capture the beauty in such everyday things is second to none. You are a remarkable artist!!

I love the feel and the picture this conveys. It is indeed very descriptive and well conveys a thought and a sight. I love the opening two lines. A calm and pleasant piece.

2024 is here... May we make it so much more heaven than hell... Wishing all peace on earth... Together, maybe we go the distance... The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet t.. more..
