I steal glances at the purple haze of the sky; the moon a pulsating heartbeat in the bosom of the night. I press my ear against it and it spells all its secrets such is the tender enchantment of a spring midnight. The flowers sit in meadows, washed by a silken dew, their shadows sewn to their petals, they are Pirates of the night sailing over to the moon in a black ship of velvet; shrouded by clouds of pink smoke, that wisp into a shower of crystal clear rain, washing the world below to a marble castle of dreams. I follow the wind, as it journeys among the trees sighing when in love, whispering when alive, keeping up with the songs that blackbirds sing to the night. I sleep in its alcove, under its mighty wings, resting on its feathery bed of pure plushmink. I flow in its trail across thousand mystic miles amidst silent, snow-capped mountains where sound is a vice. I hear my voice echo, confronted by every waterfall, every rock, through pebbles, pits and hills and back to me. I see the magic of midnight spring, the sun is not just what shines, I see it haunt the night with its youthful, its beautiful whims, I see it caress flowers and touch and fill them in, I see, I see , the midnight spring. |
