Broken-Winged Aubade

Posted on November 5, 2016 by whimsygizmo

..
See the raven,
black against night’s last
indigo blush,

one lone smudged note
waiting on a wire.

The sinking moon’s an echoed
ache of loss and longing;
the sky’s a broken song.

 

 

..
November PAD, day 5.

    Sheesh. That’s gorgeous.

    That hanging-out-there “echoed” makes me think of the word “echolocation,” so my imagination sticks a bat in there. 🙂 Ooh, remember that movie Fern Gully? I’m that crazy bat, for sure.

    (Shut up, Shawna. Stay on topic.)

    This is stunning work, De. So good to hear your voice, always.
