Happiness Is Still Out There

At the very edge of Winter Lonileness , Where rain and fire blend On a late afternoon sky, The sun shifts beyond the line of a grey horizon, Last dying embers tick the vacant hours Between the" You " and I, Because- It Was Always You... The four winds blow behind past shadows, On a night that's dark and cold , But distant stars like white moon- roses bend and reach down for my soul; They twinkle softly in the air, like a blanket upon my skin like a shawl over my hair. Blinking...Playing so hard to forget Happiness is still out there.

Charms.. I have so missed your lovely lines. I was captivated by this beautiful, melancholy write, so I penned a sequel to it called, "At The Brink Of Morning Grace" Just a tad more hope with a new day dawning. Love always!

"They twinkle softly in the air, like a blanket upon my skin, like a shawl over my hair. Playing so hard to forget. Happiness is still out there. Tom is right about your poetry... He has honored you beautifully for the Gracious, tender hearted Poetess you are. Very happy you are still writing and posting, Island Girl... Xxxx

Such a wonderful, captivating poem dear Charmaine that’s so beautifully written and draws the reader in. I love and appreciate the wonderful imagery,’ But distant stars like white moon - roses’ ‘ like a shawl over my hair’. Exquisite and a very touching write. I’ve lost my muse at the moment so this is inspiring to me. Thank you. Blessings to you x

Wonderful to mind my friend of many years with a great piece like this. It seems like I'm visiting an old friend. I've been gone for a while. And I see you have too. It's a dry spell. It will pass.

It sure is. You paint it with a melancholic tone when you start: "at the very edge of winter loneliness". I like this piece. Thank you Char.
