the radiant

there is destiny

hiding in hopeful shadows

smiles kissing the moon

lips open

fate palms the faithful

dances to wind-chimed freedom 

liberty waiting

door ajar

we have meandered

met the crossroads to heaven's

timpanic blues 

live music

lunar moon loves pause

mediates with the oh so radiant

snores in sleep - smiling

radiant

A captivating write studded with the most beautiful nocturnal imagery in this finely penned poem, Emma. I just love the line "Smiles kissing the moon", it is ssssssoooooo beautiful, as is the whole poem, but that line speaks volumes to me. A fanciful write which I so enjoyed reading. Thank you for writing and thank you for sharing, Emma. Lovely work!

Just beautiful nature imagery as usual, always so vibrant and well worded :)

Nadia, thank you so very much. Will reciprocate later if that;s okay with you. Just made a note to call later in the day. Keep smiling and whistling that world-famous 'happy tune' meantime, please !

Hopeful shadows? How intriguing. Good subversion of expectations. Dancing to wind-chimed freedom is far better then when the wind stops and one switches to the march of the silently oppressed. Quite the whimsical poem Emma, I enjoyed it.

It can also cover a brewing mood!! Keep blues away by painting green! Hope your day's going well, Betty. Should I visit you this/my evening and review for you? Please nudge me if I do.
