In the Fades of Night

in the fades of crimson ivory shadows dance upon the hills in windswept motions beneath the haloed moon my thoughts aglow in the allure that nighttide often brings a song on the strings of hearts drifts aimlessly in echoes through the folds of darkness towards dreams as eyes close to gain sight in the distance i see you standing alone hands out reaching but never touching before eyes open and you fade with night in the breaks of day

I can certainly feel the longing for that one with the outstretched hands in this beautiful poem you have graced us with my friend. Some dreams are so hard to wake up from. Good morning Sandy.

Another one of your gifted writes my friend --uniquely worded and executed--in windswept motions beneath the haloed moon---as eyes close to gain sight---beautifully done, Sandy.

Thank you my friend...the sky was gorgeous last night, the moon, appeared full but because clouds were moving in, it looked like it had a halo...it came over the hills near me, so the hills were aglow, but there was still a setting sun across the sky so there was some color among the gray... hugs

The most beautiful dreams always seem to fade in the light of day, perhaps you are a dreamer as I am. I feel a bit of sadness in this one, Sandy. All my best. Hugs, John
