            The Promise                      

                          By
                      Nancyanna


Stepping out into the
inky night, a crisp breeze
kisses my cheeks - I
revel in the cool
renewed breath filling
my lungs.

Looking up, searching,
I find her peering out
among a veil of shifting
clouds.
 
Pulling back the shroud
- she slowly reveals
herself - not quite a full
harvest vision but surely
promising the Fall and
Winter dance to come.

Stopping, I fix my gaze
on her journey across
the night sky - not
wanting to lose that
perfect communion.
