Painted Longing

-->

Amber neon scarlet sunset

Smokey plum streaked clouds chasing the sun

Cerulean blue fades to smoky gray

As the stars reach out to the last rays of light

Random sea breeze blowing fall crispy night

Faceless strangers traversing silvery pavements

Plans and dreams of the days to come

Full harvest and thanks for all they embrace

A gracious time nearly upon us all

Would that it could be this every day or every night

This sense of peace here in the darkness

Slow and haunting beautiful tune

Captivated a part of my unconscious

Reaching for something to resonate ever more with

As if the light display I had casually witnessed

Were not enough

One taste of such beauty always leaves me wanting

Just a little more, linger just a little longer

Sweet beauty moves my soul in ways, just ways

And the night, oh the night and her lights

The sky filled with stars above

The dark streets filled with bright lights below

Distracted contracted and extracting my senses

Beyond the space and time in which I now obviously inhabit

The sea breeze whispers once more

And this time I hear it

A tune meant for me

A lone soothing and mesmerizing tone so distant

Bringing back a flood of days and years

Watching water color painted skies

Contemplating dreams alive and hope taking flight

Not worried a bit with my wings now unfurled

Time to soar and perhaps yet dream

And slumber befalls me until mornings pale orange

Reaches into my heart

While the little birds singing me gently awake

Again
