Evening Lights

A gentle Love song while watching the lights of evening.





Evening Lights  -  26 Aug 15

Evening closes silently
Shop lights shine
Streetlights
Light one by one
In the distance
Lighthouses
Rhythmic twinkle
Above us the stars
Celestial twinkle

And in the evening glow
We rest together
Listening to the sighing wind
And the soft singing
Of the stars
Our gentle arms
Cradle us into sleep
Together





Evening lights are often the most magical.

Morning Ride

An actual event ~ slightly embellished for the sake of poetic feelings.





Morning Ride  -  28 Dec 14

Journeying
Into the East
Sunrise in my eyes
Dark horizons
Behind me
Spectra shone
From ice left by the night
I watch for
The beauty of the day
And the unfolding
Expectations

Day over
Returning to the West
Lights at the end of the world
Lighthouse in a hidden sea

Orion looks down
Watches me
Smiling
Shows me the Moon
She watches
Caresses in a frost painted night

The light of dawn
Now a memory
Dark horizon
Surrounds me





A very frosty morning and on return the frost was settling again.

End of the world refers to Land's End and the lighthouse is Longshhips, since the night was dark the sea was invisible.  Orion is my favourite constellation and the Moon is a first quarter crescent.
