EMBRACING TIME

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

The ruins in
The mild night air
The roof it glistens
Moonlight bare
The opening which
Was once a door
Now harbours shadow
A boardless floor.

The gentle trickle
Of running stream
Nearby the sound
Of resting dreams
One eye open
To a moving world
The other closed
To fantasy stirred.

In historys pages
A gentle lull
That pours a drink
The glass now full
Endless memories
Stretched like twine
Within this night
Embracing time.

    Absolutely stunning and is quite how I felt after watching the England match last night from my home in Italy. 🌹

      Thanking you friend, always much appreciated, the best side won, more quality players sadly

      Very lovely it takes one to a dream world and fantasy that seems to stretch and twist memories for better or worse. Nicely done
