1410 RHYME TIME

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The painted woods in slumber deep reside,
     while moonbeams weave where secrets softly hide.

Gorgeous brevity. It splashes with the woods colour as it's Night and the light of the beams flashing in. The secrets pertain how light gets into all cracks and secrets. Nothing goes un-noticed by God, perhaps? Brilliant and thought provoking in just two lines. The title alone is a mystery, it ensures as I think about it

thank you, Ryan, for your supportive and kind words. I agree...God notices everything even if I don't. Therein lies a certain mystery. Thanks for your ongoing support...means a great deal to me

That was the most magical evening! Guess what? I am unable to locate this contest on the contest listing page. Your extraordinary creative abilities are almost spellbinding in their elegance.

ahhh, thank you, Sotto for your uplifiting and 'magical words.' This morning the contest was not yet on the contest page--a PS issue; Brian had posted a blog about his next contest and his issues with PS. So I wrote this poem in advance. As of Friday evening, the contest is now listed. wishing you a splendid weekend, Texas hugs, Sara

And all who spy, with colorful eye, who strum the beams, in moonlight in dreams, secrets coaxed from hiding for long abiding~ where deep heart fondly residing. Or something like that:) Inspiring write! Have a beautiful writing day. Blessings.
