Feel the deep hush as the breeze breathes its final breath into the darkening sky, and hear the sweet notes as songbirds sing their lullabies to slowly awakening stars. Then sink in the velvet of the red moon rising, touching the world with a glow, that turns the days dust to a magical sprinkle that leads you to dreamlands on distant, mysterious shores.
i love this sensation... feeling ...
ReplyDeleteHow have you been, dear ?
kisses .
I missed you. How are you?
ReplyDeleteI have to say that i never read poetry in the original language(even if i could, that is) because i thought i could not feel its magical qualities as i do in greek. I stand corrected. I ALWAYS feel the "magic" with your words!
tis truly a magical moon...
ReplyDeletegreat to see you shadow!
Dear, dear Shadow...it is WONDERFUL to greet you here again on your own blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is a spectacular 'Changing-of-the-Guard' scene, as day evolves into night. It reminds me that eons ago (or was it a split second ago?) when "...He separated day from night"
--your luxurious and vivid description says to me 'you must have had a fantastic day!'
And I hope you have many, many of those, sweet girl.
Again, I am thrilled to see you writing here, and look forward to more--it does not have to be a daily occurrence. "Easy does it" is not a bad way to take the day.
Hugs,
Steve
Oh wow, oh wow!!!! First, I was elated to see you had posted today while reading my Google reader....and this work of yours is up to par for your talent and way with words. I was there.....watching the red moon rising, and feeling good about life.
ReplyDeleteOH! And that is a stunning picture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, as always

ReplyDeletefor the vary reason of the mystical way of which you place it.

Well hello and welcome back! I liked your words but most of all I liked the symbolism of the red moon reflected in the parasol. Wonderful. Come read my Halloween story? I'm on Chap. 3 already.

Welcome home....;

ReplyDeleteOh, the magic in your words.... :)
ReplyDeleteSo relaxing, I could sink into the words you write and get some rest. Nice picture you found too.
ReplyDeleteShadow, I have been searching for a simple setting to set me on my way to a meditation state that can then carry me on through the night of dreams.
ReplyDeleteThis...this is what you have just gifted to me. Gracias for your generosity.

ReplyDeleteNice new layout too! It feels just like sitting in the middle of a book. :)
Not only do I love your writing, but the images...you know where to look. Awesome.
ReplyDelete"red moon rising"
ReplyDeleteHow these words resonate with me ! I've only seen this phenomena twice, but each time at an extremely important point in my life, as though the universe was trying to tell me something... But, did I listen? :)
The siren voice par excellence. You've lured me! Clever use of image, prose and title.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is up here and that means it is almost time for a nap.
ReplyDelete"the breeze breathes its final breath into the darkening sky"......
ReplyDeleteLovely words, Shadow.
Welcome back.
