"Breathing Midnights...

Ï read Lilly Negoi's "Hollow Space" and felt my own thoughts respond.

I read Lilly Negoi's "Hollow Space"and it touched me.

 

Seems there are many "places" where we can stand and just stare into infinity. And what we see, hear, feel, taste ...remember - was the world ...our world... as we knew it to be -or hoped it could be - wished, dreamed, even prayed... until it wasn't anything at all ...anymore.

 

“Breathing Midnights…”

 

Can you hear the whispers

on the midnaught lips pressing close?

The taste of sage with each breath,

the shiver of spring yet to come?

 

I can still stand

watch ...wait for the dawn...

with empty eyes

and emptier wishes

that once rang - true

and bright with more hope

than sense...

with more heart than

understanding

that even dreams end.

 

Can you hear

the

whispers

of nestled hearts

lying close

beating in soft harmonies?

 

Can you feel the moonlight's kiss?

The starlight's touch?

The tears ceased to fall

on the outside of the glass -

but the heart overflows

with each eyelid's closing

...still.

deep sigh... yes.. because the heart and the soul of us is ageless.. and when the heart speaks.. the soul listens.. and sometimes breaths a deep sigh..

Glad you stopped by... Lilly's set the mood AND the stage, my eyes found their own niche to look into.

[olla]

In that case.. I will have to look at Lilly's as well..
