Embrace

On a cold winter day, 
or was it the dark night?
I walked on my way, 
no end was in sight.
Tired, limp, numb, 
the smile just a token,
stopped for the night, 
yet another promise broken.
I lay on my beatiful bed, 
awaiting sleep's gentle whistle,
dreamt of a garden of weed;
sage, rosemary and thistle.
Through the garden I wandered,
for time infinite,
until I heard your soothing 
voice calm the night.
The trees cast a shadow, 
on your loving smile,
yet the light from your face, 
through me it travelled a mile.
It was the warmth of your embrace,
that took me through the night,
though it escaped from the window, 
it left a shining light.

I love your imagry here. I totally imagine myself in this place and it is so peaceful.

Love your style of writing, almost "old timey". Beautiful
keep sharing

Hehe, those particular lines were inspired by a song called 'Scarborough Fair' by Simon and Garfunkel. I guess they're quite old, hence it sounds "old timey", as you put it. Do listen to that song if you liked these lines, it's very soothing. I'm glad you liked it, thanks for reading! =)

[Emily Feret]

I know the song well! :)

Thats awesome! Thank you. Your very talented and I believe in saying exactly how I feel about something. And all your post I read so far are amazing

No.. actually thank you. Your writings in some way or another I can connect with. That is very rare for that to happen. I almost never can connect with another person's writings

I'm glad you feel that way! =)
