The hum of a bee

Whispering to a flower

Is the sweetest sound

Make a wish upon a star
See the moon glow bright
Little one who watches
Out the window of the night

Whisk your dreams away
On the gentle evening breeze
Skyward clouds paint the skies
And mingle with the trees

Quietly she sits in thought
Dear sweet child of ebony light
Watches out the window
Enchanted by heavenly delight

#TBT ~ Until the Night is Born – #poetry

Darkness falls across my face
I’m weary from the day
Yet, this is the time that I embrace
Where my mind begins to stray

To fantasies and wonderlands
To visions quite obscure
To a place, my mind expands
With magical allure

Where dreams become realities
Where life’s a nursery rhyme
Where there is no normality
And I can pass the time

Until the light must shine and splay
Become a brand new morn
And I must tuck my dreams away
Until the night, again, is born

Storm ~ #poetry #etheree

Storm
Thunder
In my mind
Creates visions
Ones that do linger
Forcing me to escape
Into my own awareness
A place, profound, as is subtle
Yet, to truly understand your fate
One must make sense of their very own soul

 

This is my first attempt at an etheree poem.  Info on how to write one can be found HERE.  Many thanks to Helene Vaillant of Willow Poetry for creating in this form and to Colleen Chesebro for researching and adding this to her weekly poetry challenge.

Colleen has given us free reign over our choice of words.  I chose Spector and Possess as mine and only used synonyms to write my Tanka!  🙂

Frightful October

Goblins and ghouls awaken

Bones rattle and shake

Spirits take flight on this night

And I covet the darkness
