In a small town...

After a long break from writing, instead cleaning, bending and moving, my home has sold and the mixed emotions run deep.  It was what I wanted nevertheless, but now during the closing process much more needs to be done.  Hoping to be back with my muse by Oct., I will celebrate new surroundings and join you all here again at the pub.  I know I've missed a lot of good poetry, but there has been little time for reading, believe me!

Today Brian over at dversepoets.com has asked us to write a 55 - count them, a story in just 55 words to submit to our friend at G-Man's poetry site.  
I hope all of you are having a slow and peaceful summer,
Katy


In a small village in the mountains,
silhouetted by evening's sky,  
 dwellers work, play, pray.
Clouds cherry pink encircle peaks white, 
softly enough to touch dry a 
baby's skin after bathing.
Night falls -
 hear only lullabies of the earth,
  eyes of the night sky blink
open, closed, watching  
 o'er the tranquil town 
 slumbering with angels
