I
watch, as
fire falls
from up above,
in the pitch of night.
Brightening dark heavens,
painting the sky; ambience
sets the mood for lovers below.
Nestled, beneath the stars, they embrace
as the heat continues to spark within

Colleen’s challenge this week is synonyms only.  The words are Search and Lost.  I chose Chase & Hidden.


Crepuscular rays

Though hidden by evening clouds

Chase away darkness

As she lifts the veil

Awakening morning’s light

Freedom is given

Her flocks fly hurriedly by

Before darkness reigns again

Looking, not for gloom

I must seek the rising sun

Casting eyes upward

Knowing, I will find the light;

Warm comfort in these dark times

Golden droplets glow

Shimmering ever softly

In the pitch of night
