Hush

A hush in the light of evening star with the sparkle of pearlescent moon. This night is a poem, a memoir for we two by the Goddess of Lune. Air so fragile, it holds but soft words, whispers gather like a spider's weave Gentle summer breeze is slowly stirred scent of blossoms and raindrops perceived. Lightning dances in clouds from afar. air embraces like promises kept Midnight blue mingles with silver star quiet--soft as a damselfly's step.

The analogy at the end line is arresting Ann. A great entry. All the best. Being away on a tour for a few days, I have to catch up with much.

I hope it was a tour to a lovely place! The last line in poem I searched mightily to find the softest sound I could imagine :)

Thank you so much, Lasaad! I expect, to find almost total quiet, one would need to be in a vacuum :)
