Each Day Has a Story

The street lamps cut through faded tones, With moonglow blazing starlit gold, And fluid my ink is interlaid That even in the dark , I grasp blinks of light; When nightfall drifts like a peaceful shroud As my glass pane teeters in the breeze . I hear an old couple laugh on the alley Their banter rolling , perhaps, of younger times ... Across them, a lone man trots, forlorn His bent spine enduring road’s travail, While egrets scuffle homeward bound. Mixed thoughts wander at this picture show , Receding off so gradually Through the tip- tap drawl on cobblestones : From my pane's sill, fingers reach for verses Where every day is a page to write a new story... A recital of life’s intervals with unending episodes. Strand's Choice M

Another day and another page turns, there have been times I've felt the page turn, it's a moment of stillness...Good luck
