A Strange Kind of Numb

Embedded image from another site

Alone in my back yard just before dawn
As the birds quietly sing their final love song
I look up at the heavens and a clear sky captures my eyes
As the moon stands alone then I realize so am I
But it gives my world a light as it heals the bruise on my soul
Then the stars begin to shine and my heart begins to glow
And just for a moment I thought I could make time stand still
As I think about this nothing and my depths begins to fill
Because I know somewhere on this earth I am sharing this lovely view
Suddenly I feel a strange kind of numb as I share this moment with you

Hi Fjames,

A lovely eerie quality presented by your words and pictures. Somehow I'm reminded of Wordsworth's "Strange fits of passion have known". Nicely done. cheers

The heavens have long been an inspiration to the poet - and this very fine write amply demonstrates just why...

Hi, fjamesj9701,
When dusk gently settles on lawn, it is a lovely time to feel connections and contemplate sharing this lovely view. Surely, somewhere on this earth, there is a least one...

The loneliness of poets or artists, the peace of accepting it for what it is Jesse. Don't go spoiling it all by wishing for impossible love too! laugh

Nice one sir

Wow Jesse, I read this and it gave me chills. Your poem is somewhat along the lines of the new one I posted Called The Heart Of The NIght. Interesting. I started a new poem due to a comment I made to you on another piece about the MUSE. I'll post it when it's done. Blessings, Celtic
fjamesj9701
Thank you Celtic, I was raking leaves in my back yard and saw the moon between the branches of oak trees above my head and there it was, this thoughtgrin Thank you again...Jessewine
