winter's shield

rewrite for NaHaWriMo
little ones frolic
under silvery moonbeams
till stillness comes
a sparkled light cast
night recedes behind the stars
tomorrow sleeps
fEB 18
varied highs and lows
February vacillates
spring's on its way

Nature's mystery sprightly beads nestle betwixt succulent leaves Pearly light of glistening eyes echoes a dance of the coming spring.

silvery moonbeams
night recedes behind the stars
tomorrow sleeps in dreams
Feb 18 Sunset
evening wanes
sunlight etches closer to
twilight's shade (reference to age -etch-wrinkles)
Feb 19 blue hour
sky colors ripple
a unique aerial view
coming
down
down

Feb 20 Twilight
cicadas sing
silence merges with darkness
tree shadows creep
Feb 21 Dusk
fireflies hover low
in eventide
tealights flicker
Feb 22 Evening
evening sounds surround
life nestles, tweets and twitters cease
swissssh goes the porch swing
Feb 23 Vespers
Violet skies of royalty
evensong of repentance,
Ash Wednesday
Feb 24 Bedtime
Bedside, on my knees
whispers ascend to heaven
I lay down to sleep
before I lay down to sleep
whispers to heaven
evanescing pass out of sight, memory, or existence. "water moves among reeds, evanesces, shines" To dissipate or disappear like vapor.
