Fingertips and Spider Webs

Fingertips and spider webs  

Walking neath the canopy
Dusk collects the view
Underforest tapestries
Shelter me and you
 
Shadows long and framed in red
Crimson wishes flow
Beams of light this filtered scene
Nature comes to show

Dancing open in the trees
Invisible to touch
Lost again, yet ever real
Felt within so much

Beckon, sun of setting dreams
Contours fade the haze
Promises in violet cast
Spoken twilight gaze

Fingertips and spider webs
Darkness sings the skies
Footprints come a weary path
Midnight whispered sighs

Affections rustle sleeping leaves
Breaths of calming wind
Till the dawn returns the day
And we begin again

Good night Soupers
See you again next Tuesday
Happy New Year to everyone!
