Muted In a Moment

I watched as the panorama
found harmony
the sky slipped into the
white lipped mouth
of mountains


supplication floated


blue turned mute,
mixed with Grey’s
of twilight,
her fingers
lightly took one last
grasp on Azimuths cowl,
then disappeared
for the half turn


in a depth of silence
the first movement
of night,


was to regain
her stolen breath 
of awe

Awesome, enjoyed. By the way i appreciate the time you are taking to read me this fine morning. My poetry wannabe's ha ha . I call it that do to the no time and effort I put in to my writes. I also enjoyed the comment you left me on one of my poems.Your quote (" I can tell you we are all different and if we weren't ? it would be a boring site lol ") L.O.L. i agree i have not ran across no one with my style of nonsense. Truly enjoyed your style,..Sidney LeeAnn
