it's always Heaven's night...

cold air assaults my skin
heightens my senses as I step
onto the sidewalk inhaling
rain cleared air

little mirrors of refracted light
catch my eye -
puddles of celestial reflections

there’s not a breath of wind
no familiar rustle of leaves on leafless
trees: silent sentinels in this quiet night

gaudy pink clouds ride the sky,
they look like cotton candy - far off
untouchable - neon cities never rest*

It’s not truly dark here, like
out the farmhouse backdoor,
I feared what might hide in that
deep, hungry, darkness.

this clear moment overwhelms me,
I only have a few minutes before the
world weighs restively on my shoulders
it’s always like that, only a moments respite

I love the crystal clarity of this night
I’m enveloped in private accord with heaven
my thoughts run free
I know monsters live in the dark, but there are none
not in this moment of enlightened darkness






Love,

Eaton.

I don't think I'll know this side of death... 55 FFF

I often wonder if you received it
and if you did, how
did you feel it, or was it a thought
a knowing deep inside, did it come
as a whisper or a cry, that prayer I said
the one where I asked you to forgive me

did you forgive me? I never heard back...

It's weeks since I wrote a 55 for G-daddy, way too many. Family commitment is the culprit keeping me from blogging...but this week I wrote it early and posted early so I didn't miss out. Hope y'all find this 55 interesting. :)


Join in the 55 FFF fun with G-man at Mr. Knowitall, have a great weekend!

A whole lot of love,

Eaton.
