Rain clouds slowly moved on after resolving their differences with an impatient evening sky anxiously waiting to throw a star-spangled velvet cover on the remains of the day If the full moon could speak he would gently ask for the wind to refrain That the sea might remain calm and allow its light to reflect on a still surface illuminating the night The artist’s preparations, meticulous A serene nightscape comes to life On a daily blank canvas Earth and sky exist in harmony Calming, soothing and brilliant in its beauty Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Word Prompts Star-spangled - RDP Resolve - FOWC If - Stream of Consciousness
Not a whispered sound or the soft touch of a breeze on the skin A gentle murmuring of angels never to be heard on this dark night of sin Walking blindly towards nothing but black each step an arduous mile Stumbling at a fallen log Confused and bearings lost Stopping to rest for a while Dawn breaks in the distance A sign of hope at last Fear slowly relaxes its hold Clarity found with passing seconds Remnants of the previous night will remain forever untold Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Grace is hosting Open Link Night at D'Verse Poets Image by Enrique Meseguer from Pixabay

Dusty pink taffeta sky lays in folds against a blue-grey background of twilight The raft of northern ducks silhouetted and bobbing on a pewter lake mirroring the last of the day’s offering A rising moon chases the sun from view as darkness descends Sounds fall silent when the day gives way to night and and the handover is complete Copyright © 2020 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Grace is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with personification and/or imagery. I chose imagery for my poem.
