Ethereal Fortunes
He wears the night like a second skin,
silent slides past moonlit shadows.
The stars shimmer across the lake,
drops of light melting into pools of stillness.
Crossed-legged gazes take him to dawn,
while the pink flames lick the horizon.
The earth warms, renewing its promises
to the well that refreshes his soulful smile.

Hey, Nikki, if you're here, it must have just hint of dark, which is what I wanted.
:)
The title is another nod to Soul, who brings a positive energy to DU!
Thanks.

My Friend,
Your soothing, vivid imagery draws me deep--inescapable--into this nocturne scene of tranquility...
A tribute--not only to Souladareatease--but to all, for whom the magic, and the serenity of the darkness, beckons.
Peacefulness on Parchment!

Enchantress, you amaze me with your ability to get at the heart of my poems.
Yes, exactly! For those of us who know the gentle side of night, this is a visit to a place of calmness.

A truly beautiful, deeply transcendent piece Atakti, in which it seems, sounds & feels as if you yourself have somehow through attentive, open reflection, attunement & deeper, receptive 'listening' to the ripened, boundless voice of your innermost muse, have mysteriously & quietly slipped just under the outer skin of our everyday, usual, more limited human, sensory perceptions & here in the gentle, peaceful blooming & silently breaking dawn-like light of this lovely, serene, simple poem's delicate vision, you have tenderly dipped into the resonant vibrational frequency of & managed to wonderfully capture a rare, fleeting, jewel-like glimpse & intimate impression of something truly sublime, which even after re-reading several times (to better absorb & savor!), still lingers on my senses & vicariously in my thoughts, like a slowly fading dream, in which I can literally feel the warm, inner glow of it's blissful, timeless peace!... (After a really long, trying day today, this brought me quickly (& quite unexpectedly!) to just the right, perfect place & soothing, head-space, my overall 'being'(body, mind & spirit)really needed to be at tonight!!! ("thanks!")... Good medicine for sure & a really great write!...
