Forest of Shadow and Mist

Darkness falls as a mist creeps and rolls


A quiet forest, mysteries hiding stories untold


From a field far away comes a fox's shriek


Shrill and piercing, calling in repeat


A startling reply heard a brief moment later


Closer than you'd care to wager


Tall grass shifts by a wall of loose stone


A shadowy figure rises, and in the moonlight shimmers silver, brown and gold


Suddenly stopping as if aware of my gaze


Suspiciously assessing me, seeing how I behave


Darting off into quietly into the night


Joining in the hunt for a quick bite


All creatures must eat to survive


Hunting is a natural part of life


Wonderous clear skies above, full of glinting jewels


Forming spectacular shapes that provide guidance and tools


Winged creatures flit among the pitch black skies


Dancing on winds, defying gravity's ties


Day-time holds the bluest blues


Creatures roam while humans sleep


Night-time covers all in a darkened hue


Wary of the dangers daytime may keep.

One day you'll find me, One day we'll be free, From the torment of loneliness, And suddenly it'll all be real.

Starlight Hill - A Lost Dream

   On a starlit night in the height of summer, the moon shines down upon a valley, where, entwined under a blanket we lay together in comfort and peaceful bliss. A cool breeze dances through the valley, washing over and tickling us with a momentary chill, bringing us closer and tighter seeking each other's warmth. Moonlight cascades through the small band of clouds that drift across the sky, casting shadows on an already darkened world. The sounds of wildlife fill the air, creatures once dormant now roam the dark canvas dotted with flickering jewels and a radiant moon chased by a small billow of clouds. We stare into the night and as the moonlight peaks the clouds and the sky opens to us once again. The glimmer of the moonlight catches your skin and the air around you shimmers with an angelic glow, catching and dancing through strands of hair that fall softly around your cheeks. I lift myself and perch at your side. Resting on my arm, my gaze wanders your figure as I admire yo...
