Beneath this dark...soft, silent sky (For Frieda...awaiting your smile)

 

 

Beneath this dark…soft, silent sky

(For Frieda…awaiting your smile)

 

 

 

 

Beneath this dark…soft silent sky

where starlight teardrops weep

in moon glow feathered sonnets…

my heart seeks

~ 

Clinging to every hope,

laced of tiny woven dreams

now filtered through weary eyes

and worried sighs

 ~

Collecting each moment shared

within my weathered hands…mixed

with essence of posy and

butterfly song

 ~

Woven together in melodic patterns,

colorful arcs on golden horizons

bidding me a good evening while

riding in on the sweetest of mystic zephyrs…

 ~

as another tear paints my cheek

in transparent worry

and desperate longing for that day

when your smile reappears

 ~

For here sits my whispered wishes,

behind tufted clouds of life,

touching me with poetic joy,

allowing me to breathe freely

 ~

Beneath this dark…soft silent sky

where starlight teardrops weep

in moon glow feathered sonnets…

I shall wait…for your smile

I LOVE THIS ONE! THE PICTURE GOES WELL AND FITS IT.
Truly beautiful!
My favorite stanza:
"Woven together in melodic patterns,

colorful arcs on golden horizons

bidding me a good evening while

riding in on the sweetest of mystic zephyrs…"

The font makes it a little difficult to read--may want to change that...put it is pretty.

Thank you so very much Josie. I think the reading of this is about finished now so I'll just leave the font as it is, but thanks for the suggestion.

I have a typo up there~sorry. I think the font is pretty and flowing, but it bothered me reading it. Sometimes, I simple font is better on the eyes when there is a lot to read. My instructors require Times New Roman in my classes. 12pt. Because it is easy to read. However, I like to use different fonts in my private work depending on the writing and length.

Your words are always beautiful and from the heart Jack. This is no exception. I haven't been around much, but when I am here, something is missing...it's Frieda. She brought life and laughter here and she is missed. I'm sure your words will touch her.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Dye. I hope they do touch her and I hope all of these comments allow her to know how much she is missed. I appreciate you.

Wonderful and precious words written as only you can write. You've said all the things things Frieda's friends want to say, Jack. Thank you so much.
