light slips from the sky
inviting stars to hear prayers
sent from hearts below
on this winter night
smokefall robbing our eye light
sweet touch remains us
twilight’s last gleaming
twitches and fades from above
leaving us to dream
Inspired by the word prompt “DUSK” at
Enjoyed these. The best time to dream.
It is that moment between change. Neither day nor night when anything is possible
I LOVED the first haiku – not that the others were chopped liver.
Although chopped liver is quite tasty!
inviting stars to hear prayers sent from hearts below – I will look at stars as invitations now!
All three are lovely. You have a turn of words in each that moves these from the ordinary to something more. I like these. Good job.
Thank you Alice,
i was trying to capture that aspect of dusk being ordinary and the gateway to the magical – so glad it came through
After stars gave assurance for the prayers, it’s time to dream happy!
Perpetual Dusk
lovely set, Merlin.
