Free Verse, Poetry by Sarah

The Conference

The moon leans low,
whispering silvered
secrets to the stars.

They circle close,
a quiet congress of light,
sifting through
the hush of night.

Thoughts pass
in glints and flickers.
A soft breath
over sleeping hills.

Each star,
a shimmering code.

’til slowly,
darkness begins to pale.

And the meeting dissolves
at the gentle insistence
of dawn.

Poetry by Sarah, Tanka

Darkness of the Deep

Shimmering sunshine
glides across the peaceful blue,
masking those who lurk;
sagaciously awaiting
in the darkness of the deep.
