Streaks of silver line the clouds;
the sky is touched by a tinge of blue.
Slowly the life stirs
among the ruins by the bridge.
An old castle atop the hill,
densely shadowed by trees,
birches, maples, oaks, and the strange wild, unnamed growth over time
brook in their hearts
the secret bridge covered in the elusive light of the reluctant Moon.

+Sushama Karnik I like TOD's paintings, and you've married words to this image incredibly well. The metre and stresses here have a peaceful and soothing quality. Thanks again. Have been busy lately, so it's nice to be able to read and comment properly...REPLY 21w - +Tony Cairns Thanks Tony. Good to see you and your words. I have been advised by the doctor to stay away from typing for some time. I shall visit occasionally, though to keep in touch.
REPLY 21w - +Sushama Karnik That's a shame, hope your condition improves. Your recent posts have been very good...
