Magenta Was the Sky This Morn

Magenta was the sky this morn Magenta was the sky this morn as I approached the day Ominous of clouded rose in petal’d full array Quietly it called to me in whispers on the wind A fragrance pure, so sweet its touch now falls upon my skin Engulfed in life’s serenity, so overwhelmed with fear A brush of fate in simple terms as if the end were near I stood to bare my feelings now a swirl in my mind In hopes of some off distant dream so soon would come to find Counting off the many tasks which brought me to this place The reasons that did hold the time my sequence now did waste Lost of any angered tears when captured on my brow To cry, if it has come to be, then let it find me now On my knees, the summer ground is warming to my touch With gathered hands to here my chest, this future I do clutch Loneliness companions me though still of wandered hope I pray that what will come before my soul shall bear to cope When suddenly a light appears, a magic in its sheen A softer glow, this lightened mist of heaven’s tangerine To touch upon the darkness in a spirit calling true In witness to the morning sun that feeds the skies of blue My heart beats now elated in a dance of utter bliss As memories of long ago, I find they do exist The rising sun to spill its charm in beacons shone above This warmth I feel, rekindled flame, aglow within your love The doubt did come of weakened state, a mind that was unclear A hollow moment filtered in through thoughts of you not near Alas the dreams of only one now obvious of two For on this day, the rising sun, brings me the love of you Good morning Soupers

The most meaningful comment I could give to a fellow poet is to let him know that I read his poetry over and over. This is among those of yours in my favorites list, Chris. I'm delighted that it was awarded the first place honor. I miss reading you now and your kind comments on the writes of many here. Hugs to you.

This is so beautiful Chris. I tend to agree with Heidi, this is clearly one of your best. The doubts that come in felt by you, you get your readers to feel them all. So glad that it ended on a beautiful note. True Love here...Maria

Heidi, my friend, I can not thank you enough for your wonderful comments on my poem this morning. I usually don't post long poems in the morning because they don't normally get much attention, so I am even more thrilled you stuck around to read this one. Your kindness is always a smile on my face.
