Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Quiet Footsteps

A velveteen hue paints the long hall,
a subtle glance from the morning sun 
awakening  along with quiet footsteps

Drapes try to darken a lost night
where two winks were only a dream
and the day refused to remain at bay

Hush and fly away my beautiful songbird
for the tune you play cannot be heard
fly away my bird and let the restless be 

Come back when a new day breaks
when pumpkin spice fills the horizon
and I'll let you climb again into my heart

Casarah Nance October 21, 2016 at 11:55 AM This sounds sad to me, like an insomniac, the nights were made from dreaming and refusal wake from the unrested. A push away begs the day not to come. -I have probably misinterpreted it, but that is the interesting part of writing and reading eh... hugs
