Gusts of the winter swept twilight~

invited by her open window

Playfully whipped the lace curtains~

as if the most foolish of foes...

Swirling around her bed chamber~

to inspire an upward glance

Engaging the lit candle flames~

in a wildly flickering dance...

Stirred by the chaotic shadows cast~

her beauty by the night was soon known

As she tilted her head & listened~

for what on the wind to her had blown...

Wistful whispers unto her beckoned~

"hide no more from your memories of...

The artist to which you were once muse~

& the intensity of such love..."

Her only answer, a heavy sigh~

as towards the open window she drifts

Her dream like state tempered with purpose~

knowing once closed, the spell would lift...

Turning her back on the secured latch~

she returns to where by echos taunted

Reign of the dark hours again forfeit~

to what by day her eyes were haunted...

haunted...

Many elder folk seek the company of younger simply to pass along bits of wisdom without necessarily paving the path that lies before each.

I imagine you having such a meeting your 69 yr old self no lets say 93 yr old self as she sits on the same park bench where you're resting and as she leans into whisper to you, her younger being, "I have but one regret." Knowing instantly what that is
you leap from the bench to the pen the above poem.

Now is the time to embrace the muse within, celebrate living, receiving and never stop giving.

Peace
AJ

Oh Kerry. I loved this. What a lovely, lovely write. The repetition of the word "haunted" at the end, just sealed the mystical feeling up so nice and tight for me. Thank you for sharing.
Peace and hugs,
Laura

I rather liked the wistful feel this brought.

"hide no more from your memories of...
The artist to which you were once muse~
& the intensity of such love..."

probably my favorite part ....
