Lit Only By Starlight Flickers

swirling strokes
round rings

powerful peaks

delicious delights
dramatic and daring

sitting atop
looking out in the darkness
lit only by starlight flickers
sometimes
one can see more
than in the brightest of sunlight

winding wipes

billowing brushstrokes

exotic energy

delicious delights

dramatic and daring

You have painted a beautiful picture with your words. I especially like,
'sitting atop
looking out in the darkness
lit only by starlight flickers
sometimes
one can see more
than in the brightest of sunlight'....that is so deep and so true. Sitting in the dark looking at the sky, one can see so much more of themselves, and others, than in the clear light of day. Maybe because it's quiet enough to think and you are surrounded by a pure beauty not yet blurred with the realities of life....
anyways....
I really like this.
well done.
