It Keeps Turning

When the day is put to bed and at last you lay your cares aside, then listen to the wind songs playing in the trees beyond the garden wall. A night bird serenades his lover with his own sweet and tender melody reassuring her that the dawn will come. When the day is put to bed

Amazing use of "enjambment," BG! Perhaps this is the way to put our minds at ease - listening to the birds and finding hope for the coming day in their songs. (Third line has six words. It's tough counting words when you're used to counting syllables, isn't it?) Always wishing success for you. Love, Carolyn, your blast from the past LNC

Enjoyed reading this one that offers up hope..A very reassuring work..Thanks for the visit to my page..My mother said that she threw the pie under the house where my father wouldn't see it and where the chickens could eat it(at least the chickens got some nourishment from the failure)..Times were very hard back then they started with nothing and no hopes..Sara
