Night Watch

Dark trees on the dark street stand still: duty bound mute guards between heaven’s stars and solid earth, locked, secret, with no voice to me as we walk on the black road, not talking.

Oh quite an intriguing poem with a vivid metaphorical interpretation as well.. Love how you've woven a dark atmosphere here where the soul breathes in silent stillness.. "between heaven’s stars and solid earth, locked, secret" That conveys immense depth about one's emotions too.. A wonderful write, dear Jeanette ~

Thank you Hiya. Yes, silence can have such different emotions - this is the dark one wanting connection but unwilling.
