               the surface of night -
an elegance set in place

         - awe inspiring                  
                and dreamy,
      capturing the essence 
                                thereof - 
        
                and while
 the shared    space    of day 
  creates the perfect masterpiece
-  a poetic, yet angelic melody -
                    
             
        you continue to feel,
             
                    my
      
            glow    within

Dearest Valsa, you leave me in complete awe with this beautiful, yet soft and poetic comment. ( I feel as though I'm a star embracing the night sky ) while lingering in your thoughts. These sentiments within actually hold my recent poem ' our moments ' close, as they belong side by side. My heart feels a deep connection of a forever love- so deeply along the wind. In daylight and in moonlight. You and your thoughts are always appreciated. Many wonderful blessings to you. : ) Hugs, Brandy

Brandy, the way that you can so gently and sweetly caress words to convey your thoughts is truly impressive and so unique! One can always recognize the author! Romantic softness at its best! Happy Monday xxoo

You make me smile saying, ' one can always recognize the author. ' The fact that my style and format is a bit unique, may have something to do with that. : ) A little shy about placing my voice here on my poem, but, it's a simple moment in time. I appreciate you and your lovely comment. Many wonderful blessings to you, Mike. : ) Hugs, Brandy

Dear Brandy, You have a way of letting the imagery breathe, especially in that shift from night’s “celestial canvas” to the shared daylight. It’s delicate without being fragile. What I like most is how the poem keeps circling back to presence — not loud, not dramatic, just that steady inner light you’re naming. Winter Blessings, Dear Brandy, Daniel

Daniel, at night, there seems to be a softness that just whispers ever so gently; taking my breath away. In the most beautiful way. As day curls around me, tenderness and a sweet melody take my heart beyond the clouds. It's breathtaking, indeed. : ) Creating a ' glow within. ' Your thoughts bring a smile, my dear sweet friend. Winter blessings to you as well. : ) Hugs, Brandy

Welcome back, Gregory. : ) That's a long time to be away, but life and moments within, are more important; for sure. I appreciate you and your kind words, my dear friend. Smiling at you, yep, I'm still here; and posting between moments. Which is nice. : ) Thank you for saying I'm a ' highlight. ' It's such a cute thought. : ) Hugs and smiles, Brandy

You sure anybody is really taking in the night? I stared at the woman so long I began to wonder if my orientation had changed, Wow, what an evocative backside her gown/dress has. Is it just me? I can't be the only one seeing a celestial canvas. As Tom said, this is indeed a sensory experience.

Dearest CayCay, just letting you know that, if you gaze at curves way too long; thoughts will linger. : ) I'm smiling and blushing at this moment. The light is ' me ' within these words, and my heart is overflowing with so much love. I appreciate you and your thoughts. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. : ) Hugs, Brandy
