Night's Song

A poem about how the song of the night envelopes and breathe life.

Whisper to me from the eaves of your soul
Touch your breath upon my lips and 
Make my skin sing the song of appeasement.

I feel the leaves rustle overhead in the canopy of stars 
And in the breath of night.
Sweet the fragrance of stars dripping yellow and pink
upon the fertile landscape below.

Hold my feet fast to your heart to let me feel the thrum of you.
Guide my hand to the earth and let her part under my fingertips.

The verdant night bestows all of her numinous grace upon me.
Sleep, oh moon upon my eyes,
Soft in your waxing and waning upon the imprint of my soul.

[Divinity Sleeps in This]

The Night is certainly a favorite topic of mine. I think you did it justice here.

For shear beauty, you found the sweet spot. And BEAUTY means so much in this world.

1. Sweet the fragrance of stars dripping yellow and pink
2. Make my skin sing the song of appeasement

What I would give for a cover photos to match!

such a soft song oh this grabbed at me and caught me I just am in love with the last two lines in this poem. well done!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Mercifully delivered and discordantly executed, a well thought out prose and reverent side step, a well written prose.
