Where Blue Roosts

Deep Woods by C. Grimes ($30)


Where blue roosts at midnight
I roam leaves and climb limbs
star stained with wishes.

Alone casts its shadow across
my arms as it sighs its song of solitude.

Every worry knotted hour I carried
in daylight surrenders to the peace
of moonlight prayers.

The nightingale calls from the
weightless realm of dreams.

I like, Susie. Oh to be so free, even if one does have to wait until Moonlight. Then there's a price to pay, no warm blanket, no bathroom close, and no body to snuggle with.

I too shall listen for the nightingale's call.

Wishing you a very happy New Year, Susie.
