Earth into Sky

Missing image

Each day and night

my prayers

hum dew songs at twilight.

 

You dissolve

the sun's crimson myth

into an ebony trail,

hang

across night's misty wall;

 

give me dream-threads

to string a crescent harp;

Your evening star

lends a lavender lute...

 

somewhere

 

in this night's spilling wineglass,

 

drunk

on Your music

 

my earth melts

into

Your fathomless sky.

    Cool cool image.

    A very powerful and effective opening stanza. Absolutely stunning.

    dream-threads string a crescent lamp - I LOVE that line. The way you pose descriptions is excellent.

    A beautifully executed piece that has used the prompts well. I did enjoy this very much. Thank you for a splendid entry. Beat of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

    "string a crescent harp
    and
    an evening star
    borrows a lavender lute."

    This is beautiful - what a song caress this poem is, a kiss, like sweet wine... simply beautiful. I loved the music this one made me hear. The images here are so vivid, yet so soft... simply beautiful!!
