Poet’s Pad: The Night is Ours

FlowingLady

I was listening to a stellar recording of traditional native american flute when I wrote this on the train the other day. I hope you enjoy. Wishing you a beautiful Friday wherever you may be.

The night is ours

You sat on the cool grass
Brushing your hair,
The clothing hung lazily
From your shoulders

The ramble of the brook
In the pale glow of night
The crickets sang and mated,
A distant drum sounding

A sigh escaped you
Pregnant with persistent thought,
You began to hum.
The tone reached into the depths
Of my being.

Sorrow and joy intermingled,
Two forlorn lovers
Vibrating as one,
Even the water stilled
For that haunting melody
Penetrating ever further

Clouds parted to reveal
That lusty orb
Bathing you in ghostly splendor,
Tearing the stealthy blanket from my face

You looked on me and gasped,
Your garments floating in the air
As you fled
Before I could say
