Hover spirit spit edged and peel out the hollow emptiness of this sunshines pursuit Falling like a watercall the roar dropping in its buxom forest cache arms outreaching the soft underside of night waiting with sullen intent there are birds that sly like carriage sprint they fire the stars with bolden flare pounded like silver lace and clung delicate like the wish of wanton lush dripping like the late swimmer shallow cool cusp suplement wrapped outline like a shoreline for searching draped in your tattered vest with a worry heart spooled through fingers like embers torch in grates cradle there is so much left of this day and already night is stepping down from her throne the trellis moonlight spill

comments with Pleaides

P you will recognize the vest and your descript shorelines I said I would try to write something from this busy library in the aching tired state and I did now I shall run and have a coffee in the sunlight staring at the sky and dreaming awake thank you for the inspiration Mr Esker~

Steven Your words are a wonderment that entice the reader into other realms verse three These are the birds that sly? should this be FLY? Pounded like silver lace and clung delicate Like a wish of wanton lush The trellis of moonlight spill - or the tendrils of moonlight spill I have visions of you walking the shores in the twilight with the moon on the wane casting reflections on the water to loose yourself within the rapture of the folds. Or you standing on your porch looking deep into the night sky as the colours change drawing you in on another journey Electric blue

Steven Yes I see, oh do I see. Beautiful I watch and wonder what it would be like to fly without metal wings I find travelling to see friends across the see several sets of metal wings carry me to my dark knight. But astral travel do I go and am free of earthly bones to sore and swoop without effort. Just to be . I just love to fly into the woven colours and be enveloped by their radiance I could go on my journey for ever travel the worm holes of time. Just so serene always maggie
