Promises are like moonlight.
Evening disappeared when we weren’t looking.
I captured it later,
along with the barn swallows,
as I wrote in my diary
while the sunshadows
rocked the porch swing
and the lake ripples called to me.
The moonlight was stolen by shady fog tonight.
I could hear the stars crying.
They are afraid of the dark
when we are not in the meadow
to sing lullabies to them.
Do you always make promises
when a breeze can borrow them
for another evening’s ears?

Not a poem, an experience

TRH: Sometimes when I've read a poem I've enjoyed, I think to myself, "If I tried I could write like that." I couldn't begin to approach yours in a hundred years. Incredible! Fantastic! And a whole lot more superlatives!
