Somber Symphony

The piercing stars glow such a gentle white
Allure, composed by purely nature’s wit
Attend to melodies of sacred night

The hillside yonder is forlornly bright
Fragments of sleeping heavens snugly fit
The piercing stars glow such a gentle white

A milky storm of conflagration flight
No winsome sweet reality does sit
Attend to melodies of sacred night

In evanescence they name deep twilight
Dimmest strings and erratic dreams are knit
The piercing stars glow such a gentle white

A pitch as deep as a medieval knight
The crooning echoes are softly moonlit
Attend to melodies of sacred night

Nyx is singing sweetly a softest slight
Somnambulists are silenced bit by bit
The piercing stars glow such a gentle white
Attend to melodies of sacred night

Rachel, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
