Paul, I've never seen the word "alfalfa" in a poem before. The imagery you create with it is extremely unique. Such mystery in this piece. You left me wondering about this shadow that triggers fear. Well penned! -Sheila

I re-read three times your poem. Is the first time I do so at Authorsden. Bravo!
You are a poet, yes, you are. There is a touch of poignancy here, I almost catch its presence through the alfalfa.

Paul
"
Intrigue and curiosity held my gaze.
Life seemed momentarily
suspended before dazzled eyes.
Torment filled the cold night air.

Moving with want and longing,
low within the drifting reeds,
twilight captured the silhouette
never to reveal its true identity.

Thoughts of past presence
gave peace of mind.
Fear and sadness brought
distant memories to light."
I am in awe and I love being lost in a flied of alfalfa!!!!!!!
Goodmorning Paul this is so nice to read over morning coffee {{smiles}

I always felt that a woman's naked body exposes too much, love the more subtle nudity as you have mentioned here. Why was I thinking about naked woman?

Paul, it is the things not quiet revealed that tantalize our senses, that provide us with the mysteries and mistique of life. This is deep and takes me with you almost to where you wanted to go. Bill
