Beyond Midnight

The sky dusts with barely any mild light
Bright deft starlight egressed softly throughout
The cool night has progressed beyond midnight
My face shines with nobody all about

Bright deft starlight egressed softly throughout
There’s enough light for a reflection near
My face shines with nobody all about
The water brings life through the sky’s premiere

There’s enough light for a reflection near
All the heavens where the stars start to fade
The water bring life through the sky’s premiere
Opens night, the stars, what the moon has made

All the heavens where the stars start to fade
The cool night has progressed beyond midnight
Opens night, the stars, what the moon has made
The sky dusts with barely any mild light

Hello my dearest friend Russell, I've been trying to find my way to you. I am sad for you. I have no words to offer, today. I'm still in a healing process. I lost my grandmother when I was about 5 or so. I can't imagine what you are going through. However losing someone so dear, takes a toll on us like it or not. I can offer my shoulder, but then I'd cry with you... So i am here to hold your hand in hopes you can share words with me instead. I haven't been able to open and tell my self the pain will go away. ((It has not...)) it's been really hard on me. Hearing of your loss, makes me sadder than you know.... ps... I am happy you stopped by my poem yesterday. I'm like a little puppy every time you are one of the first to comment my poems.. I adore you for always taking your time, and making sure we all know we matter... always~ LINDA

Another very impressive and outstanding write again from you my dear friend and one of my faves, Russell. For me it's a perfect pantoum and imagery. I remember when i made the first attempt to write this form of poem, i really failed. But you're always doing it grealyt. I hope & wish I'll have enough time soon to try it again. Wish I've enough time. Well, good luck always my very dear friend. Have a grace-filled wkend to you & your love ones! love lots & big big hugs, Leonora
