DISTANT

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

The satin night
Its hours tremble
Deep within
Each moment lending
A heartbeats touch
A misted dream
Each faltering breath
Each wishful beam.

Of light from moon
Its falling splendour
Silver fingers
Its touch so tender
The calling stars
A multitude of eyes
That look down
To sympathise.

Distant miles
Now lead you away
Upon a journey
To a new day
Your fragrance with
A fading frown
Dies in breeze
Its curtain down.

    Very beautiful in its imagery you paint it well. This leaves a soft and tender feel to the night. Loved it

  • Ellen Marsell

    Beautifully written. Soft, tender, and quietly moving.
