Adorning a blue sky, wishing the moon wore black

By Leith Plunkett

Chinks in the trees armor

falling as a spectrum of sunrise

leaving holes where stars should shine

 

…..finding only ghosts

    The title in it self poetic..Trees fall themselves,can snap in half and be penetrated by light..what a release ..I love the image.. little beams of light shooting through holes.. beautiful..wishful..dreamlike .. an aura of solitude.peace time and solemn silence ..but still manages to hold a smile.. In peep through the aperture in my hand and see through the opening.. I see beyond..

    Thankyou for the beautiful comments. I actually wasnt going to post it, my wife looked at me after reading and said it doesnt make sense :)

  • A former member wrote: lol.....gotta love that; i find it makes sense because it sheds an interior light....thru said chinks in armour where only few can spy the heavens--the stars' shine.......but im 'mad'

    How deep yon azure dyes the sky, Where orbs of gold unnumbered lie, everything you write is so beautiful and calm

    Heavy with thought and metaphor. Like a 3 course meal packed into 3 brilliant bites. Writes like these really keep me coming back to your page. Top shelf. +tpu+

    gently worked with a somber beauty yet it conveys a much a greater weight....nicely done
