Black Canvas

To find a meadow with nice healthy grass
And lie down on one's back on a warm night
Staring at the heavens with piercing depth
The stars flickering on a black canvas
Silver spears of light thrown down by the moon
Bathing one in a silent melody
Brings all aspects of the soul to the skies

Ah, breath. "Silver spears of light thrown", and the feeling of flight.. so familiar. Just beautiful.

I love looking at the stars on a warm night. Nothing like it.

Oneness with the universe; there's an objective worth striving for.

Absolutely beautiful, this picture and emotion you have painted with your words. Each line took me into the meadow and ended with a calm of the soul.

An interesting statement, a beautiful description and a wonderful observation but where is the shift to create climax or epiphany? Just a thought. A poet friend/ RH Peat
