Wingspan of Night

 

• 

The wingspan of night soars like an eagle

upon majestic mountain tops;

Above a zephyr of moonlight

soaring freely beneath the stars~

 

And while invisible lips of the wind

whispers down the spine of the dark

Lavender rains of fulfillment

swirl within the midnight hour~

 

And as the free spirit of restlessness

awakens the dalliance of night

The sweet dewdrops upon crimson roses

still lingers in the nest of dawn~

 

 The fragrance of the morn hatches

from the shell of another day

The ebony wingspan of the eagle

disappears from the light of morn~

intricate weaving. "...zephyr of moonlight"; inspiring. i see my habit of falling to sleep before 9-10pm has caused me to miss out a lot. :)

Hi Rose. This is a beautiful poem. Lovely imagery that any reader will appreciate. For some reason your picture is not showing so I'm not sure what is in the picture. Good flow and tone. I like the romance of the piece. Excellent use of metaphor and simile. "The wingspan of night soars like and eagle" - a creative descriptive; and "lips of the wind" whispering, creative use of personification. And there are several more that are enchanting. Lovely depth of feeling. You express the beauty of the evening and the rebirth of the morning with powerful imagery. Good word choice. Well penned and a most enjoyable read. Write on!

[SyberRose]
