By shades of night mesmerized as ebony skies by
silvery hues light up this dark. I hear gentle murmurs from passing winds enticing the silence with caresses – escapes a soft moan. Moonlit paths whisper a welcome to wandering thoughts and I, from the shadows by times tick tock to late, inspired I write.
My thoughts return shimmering in pretty silver studs of dainty twinkles. I write then of the night’s allure, moonglows magic and sweet sentiments that tingle my senses. I’ve felt too, the cold of silver moonbeams touch deep my soul from thoughts chilled. Here I write to the hushed silence yearning the whispers of winds in tones loving, of the very same moonglow that feels too distant.
The nights remain unchanged, it’s beauty untouched yet I sense a difference… in me.
vagrant thoughts anchored
by wanderlust flights inspired
the night understands
Apologies for any errors in form of format. 🙏
My current thoughts on a haibun…
