January Moon, National Park, NJ.
Honeysuckle scent
drifting through the moonlit night,
perfume marks the path,
an era’s shadow fragrance
lingers still, testing the heart
A late entry for Secret Keeper’s Weekly Writing Prompt.
The prompt words were: Moon/Era/Scent/Mark/Test
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Lovely! Can’t wait to be in the season of honeysuckle 🙂
Thanks, Jane. 🙂
I don’t know why honeysuckle popped into my head. Maybe because yesterday it seemed almost summer-like here.
The scent of honeysuckle is such a summery smell 🙂
I agree!
Beautiful. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. 🙂
Perfume marks the path – love it!
Thanks so much, Susan!
This has a timelessness to it.
Thank you, Ken.
Very lovely, Merril. The words were pretty inspirational, weren’t they?
I had a tough time with these prompt words, Luanne. I’m glad it worked. Thank you!
My mind started going off in a different direction. I was thinking from an animal’s perspective . . . .
Interesting. You are clever!
Or part cat?
Probably. Seen anything in the genealogy? 🙂
I have seen cats and dogs both.
In your family trees? Cool!
I haven’t actually put them in there yet because I use Ancestry and they don’t have categories for cats and dogs, but where I know the names or have the photos, I’m trying to keep track.
Definitely the air of summer…it always seems fragrant, somehow. (K)
Yes, I know what you mean. Thank you, Kerfe.
I’m entranced by the honeysuckle aroma and the hint of danger. Spellbinding! xo
Thank you so much. I wanted it to be somewhat ambiguous–so I’m glad you picked up a hint of danger, Rose. 🙂
“An era’s shadow fragrance” 2008-2016?
Very good, Shirley! 🙂
