Gaze Upon the Sky

When the twilight embraces us, so does the Light and with the Light comes inspiring encouragement. Quote _ by Poet When I was a young child, I would lay on the green Grass and gaze up to the cloudy dim sky. Captive to the evening twilight. Sun rim sank and embraced The boundless horizons breast and moonlight's magics Reserved silence and cool sweet-scented air. It's peaceful brief shelter; lashed nightmares dissolved there. Reflecting on the past days weaved fabrics Weight as the evening had unlaced And drew to a closed night. Those moments my heart would quiver glorious high As the opalescence clouds veiled the scene. Time for bed, my bed beside the window I'd glean The heavens and smile or couldn't help, but cry. Famished for warmth, I'd wish the sight Would stay, so much it graced. The darkness would wake the night with magical tricks As shadows danced, I'd say The Lord's Prayer. 1/2/2021 A Little Memory

This is so lovely Eve. I could see a little girl lying on her back gazing at the clouds as they drifted by. Beautiful. God Bless, JB Sorry I was gone so long. Was feeling sick and dizzy for some time with nausea. Finally the pain was so great I called in sick at work. Ended up in the E.R. with a ruptured appendix. Was in hospital two weeks and then home on total bed rest. Getting stronger now.
