Mar 2010
Stars glitter in the dark like spilled treasures;
the countless diamonds scattered from horizon to horizon.
Angels fall to the earth, cutting the midnight sky for only a moment.

Shadows dance in the full moon's wake.
A pale earth beckons you to play while all is silent.
Accepting the invitation, brush rustles, and twigs snap.

The fire flickers, dancing with violent grace.
The scent of char brushes up against you as it passes.
Summer's cool black air whispers promise of Fall.

Brooding clouds billow forward with bolts of unrivaled splendor.
Thunder echoes through a dark green mountain valley.
Warm rain gently rolls from smooth skin, wet hair, and smiles.

A warm beam of orange light pierces the purple sky.  
Revealed stand golden rolling hills marked with evergreen.
Morning's mist pours over the valley; sinking and disappearing.

A beautiful young woman smiles, eyes glistening;
her heart beating with love too flawless for this world.
I look up to the heavens with endless wonder, and
whisper aloud, “I have found one of your angles."
Please, all criticism welcome.  If you didn't care for it, say why :)
