Good night children

Violin winds whirl with hearts of snow,
white birches bow, twig strung,
at the sky's dark encounter.
Suburbia, evening solitude,
fulfils the abandoned day's fortitude.

Softly children's voices float
over warm chimney's recall
colliding with bedside visions
and wild coloured stories
of wintry fantasies and joy.

A breath of irrevocability
cloaks the dieing day,
dreams of ancient ships
sail into the hidden sun.
One more page is torn
from the calendar of craving.

Vixen's Cub
Very beautiful. I'm compelled to read it out loud to myself. It's absolutely marvelous. Bravo.

Zoya Zaidi
Every word is a caress,
That evenly soothes my heart,
Every voilin string plays,
Slowly at the harp,
Ships enchored on the heart's shores,
Threaten to cut their anchors,
And sail along with you,
Far, far away...on the Seas!
