Inspired by my unfinished short story "Lain". - 10th October 2012.


The walk.

The morning perched through twilight.
I was running into a motionless dream of light mists -
shrouded with pale amber roses.
The ghost of yesterday faint in the mind.

***

The morning grew to a mild afternoon,
although it was autumn,
it still echoed the chirp of sincerity.
Orange and red leaves lay above their young.


***

At the tips of the trees the moon bounded
and slaughtered the night sky.
The ink around her pupils
shone like sapphire in the prancing rain.

"shrouded with pale amber roses" a powerfully descriptive phrase. Welcome back, John.
