And she smiles...

So far away, yet something new each day to share.

 

And she smiles...

 

 

Somewhere in the distance

the horizon sleeps my canvas,

dawn comes to me in a dream

 

While the sun’s early rays

touch her,

widening her sable eyes and she smiles…

 

(before these eyes of mine can see)

 

Darkness drinks my landscape

in silence as I breathe, staring,

sending my heart along this imaginary line

 

As she sips her cup,

warm within this daylight bliss

Mornings are her and she smiles…

 

(and I find a crescent moon smiling on me)

 

A glint, a faint hint of light I see

of grapefruit tint and raspberry ribbons,

like fireflies on the hill

 

She peers out the window,

runs her fingers through her hair, inhaling

blue morning glory skies, and she smiles…

 

(as I exhale the night and greet the eastern glow)

 

Pastels in salmon flow gather of my scene

and I rejoice in the new born light for at last,

across the distance, we may share the sun

 

And she smiles…

Wow, this is one of your best as of late...I quite liked the free form nature of this one. You took liberties and set free the beauty that is possible when a soul searches for another soul. Well done.

Thank you so much Sarah...I am learning from you.

You have a gift Jack. You pen the familiar story of Sun and Moon as if they rise and fall for the first time upon your page. I feel like I have seen the virgin daybreak and the climax of the first pure light of day.
