Stars & Moonbeams

 

Stars & Moonbeams

Winter's fast approaching
and what's left of Autumn gold
resides in tonight's evening sky

whose embers illuminate
flocks of southbound geese
slipstreaming their way into the night

where they will surf celestial stars 
and wing their way through moonbeams.

Playing along with "dVerse Poetics - St. Lucy - Bringing light into the darkness".  The photo I snapped tonight (it's two blended into one image) and knew I had to write a poem.

  7. I love the imagery... still for us in the far north it's a memory from the past. We have had new snow today.

  9. Ooo, I really love that ending

    "slipstreaming their way into the night
    where they will surf celestial stars 
    and wing their way through moonbeams."

    Brilliant!

  10. It feels like the geese are taking autumn with them, and with it the light. Beautiful poem, Margaret.
