Between Shades

"Between Shades" Somewhere between shades of midnight and sapphire lies the color black blue with specks of tiny white Such are stars waiting to grant wishes and offerings whisper your desire Peace on Earth comes to all seeking the sky of night standing before her with an ever clear and open mind Witness with freedom many stars that radiate through believe your desire Brief is this moment in time yet window of fantasies waiting for all to witness her aura of magnificence Up high she remains in gala shadows sparkling bright fly your desire Whether you take close the one you love by the hand or gently think of someone who is far away from home somewhere between shades lies a dream just for you hold thought your desire SkyWatcher - 06-01-17

What a delightful piece based on one of my favorite words, desire. This is an invitation to not let the ills of the world take away our dreams. Thank you for this beautiful encouraging piece.

Beautiful representation Lisa, I can well associate the picture you have painted. Many a time when driving on the highway we have stopped at night to view the sky and stars as you have described it - where there are no other lights to dim them. Love your continued affirmation and intention of your expectation. Believe me - the Universe's mandate is to manifest a desire that is whispered out. May all your wishes come true...Maria

Enchanting, mesmerizing and so much to touch the heart in this wonderful poetic offering.
