So sorry, my Muse turned up, but was only half here, she attends way to many Muse Parties, Gator's Muse has given my Muse some questionable habits. . .I started the challenge with the wrong phrase (the second poem is the first), so I rewrote it (the first poem is the second) Hope you enjoy, and this all makes sense. . .
Peaceful Is The Night
Peaceful is the night
in curtained mist
Quiet is the night
mist draping into dew
Cold is the night
dew gently settling
over comrades and foes alike
in diamond shrouds
Peaceful is the night
Quiet are the nameless
friends and foes alike
sleeping under diamond shrouds
Nameless is the silence
of friends and foes alike
embraced in eternity
in the Quiet of the night.
QUIET IS THE NIGHT
Quiet is the night
in curtained mist
Quiet is the night
mist draping into dew
Cold is the night
dew gently settling
over comrades and foes alike
in diamond shrouds
Quiet is the night
Quiet are the nameless
the friends and foes alike
sleeping in diamond shrouds
Nameless is the silence
of friends and foes alike
embraced in eternity
Peacful is the night.
i feel like i should whisper, as to not disturb the quiet here :) enjoyed

Beautiful imagery for comrades and foes alike. I like it John, well done.
ReplyDeleteAh, but does evil ever sleep?
ReplyDeleteDo not think evil ever sleeps Space, but those poor souls caught in circumstances certainly do. . .
ReplyDeletebeautiful penguin : )
ReplyDeleteWell done my friend...I've seen you do this in the past and it's been far too long since you've shared your talent with the world.
ReplyDeleteVery well done Johnoh..very thought provoking..
ReplyDeleteAmazing is the imagery of comrades and foes, yet different, but alike, somehow!

They are both lovely and you don't have to use the exact phrase, it is just for inspiration...I love the image of the dew and also love the phrase, sleeping in diamond shrouds...awesome job John!
ReplyDeleteI love the silence....when I am not feeling my best I enjoy the silence of my own my mind.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!
Very nice post..great words 'embraced in eternity'....
ReplyDeleteCreative Challenge #36 ~ Peaceful is The Night.
I have no words to give this the praise it deserves. I'm speechless. Thoughtfully, respectfully speechless.
ReplyDeleteClaps wildly for John.
ReplyDeleteAs I was lurking around in the email at work last night.. you already know what I think of this... it is so beautifully written... just wonderful... I told Cherie that it should be published to share with the world...
ReplyDeleteHaving read a few past works, it is not too surprising! You write so well. As I told you in the email... your words paint the picture and what a beautiful picture it is!
Beautiful poem
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Tolkien or a fantasy work. It is quite the contrast with the brightness of your blog. Really well done!
