Enchanting stars
Constellation of diamonds
Dark sky, deep violet, yellow
Scarlet velvet ribbons.
—
Shadows on a wall of crystal glass
Reluctantly let me pass
Into a state of helplessness
Weariness vanishes
Time is unimportant.
—
Through lilac trees
Onyx gorgon eyes
Softly whisper
Capture that carefree spirit
Towards the edge of nothingness.
—
Eroded
Marble columns
Telling an endless tale
To draw the crimson curtains
As empty as an empty day.
—
In that moment
A swelling, swirling fountain
The story of the nameless one
Words from my mouth
Strangely purified.
—
It is impossible
Not to believe in miracles.

This piece has a dreamlike quality to it, Alan. Miracles are indeed everywhere if one looks.
Beautiful imagery, Alan! Life would be harder to bear if one did not believe in miracles.
so very true….if we truly look at the world around us…and how everyting fits in relationship together…it is hard not to believe in miracles…
Wow… that final couplet says it all. Thanks for this uplifting poem, Alan. I especially like Onyx gorgon eyes.
This piece has a surreal quality to it…lots of striking, colorful imagery Alan.
I could use a miracle right now if you could arrange one:)
Indeed there is no life without miracles if only you believe in them…Thank you for the uplifting write Alan .. smiles..
The image of the rotating firmament at night stayed with me while I read your poem, Alan. A beautiful write of time and the way it passes…
