A Perfect Moment, Created By Joe And Mystic

Never had I heard a flutter so clear! 
nor more distinct than the settle of midnight wings; 
                    Soft gray wings spreading, fanning  
coming to gentle fold,  
soon to follow, a nightingale's song, 
                           lilting the air. 
                 Such a blessed union is rare!
Light and dark shadows tranquilly sharing space 
One perfect moment seemingly forgiving,  
as gentle as the harmonious embrace, 
                          of bird and sky ! 

Never have I felt so powerful against the night ! 
no more indefinite than a feather in the wind. 
                           My heart beating slow as time 
 comes to a standstill before the soft caress 
                     of a nightingale in flight! 
Chiaroscuro moments on the soul 
                      oh how I wish that I had wings 
to fly and meet him in mid air....
never had I heard a flutter so clear nor a song 
                         so very dear to me...

The End. 

A creation by Joe and Mystic 
I give thanks to the man who began this venture 
and gave me a chance to fly with it lol
