Step with me, then
through muggy fog
our footsteps silence
song of frog...
past the stump of cypress knee
into the bog past hermit's keep
forget the shadows in the wood--
keep eyes on path, where they should
remain lest lust deceive the eye
already blind by tears I've cried
So walk with me into the wood...

Within a circled fairyring,
there you'll dance--
I'll clap and sing
stories told on harp and string
in harmonies the fairies bring.

May the moonbeams spark the leaves
a spotlight of our dance, reprieve.
Skyclad circles in the wood
together, as we knew we would.

I'll come again when you are gone
if only just to hum the song...
clasping knees in rock of tears
the memory of lack of fear
I'll keep the dirt you danced upon
each mote--a note of this night's song.

Karen,
I liked the emotions in this piece. Nicely done.

It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo!

Verge of Darkness
also from #16

Soft light, the beams of day before the night,
Purple orange yellow red colors paint skies,
Daydreams explore all the actions that might,
With exit of fire globe leaves just sighs.
To turn to the darkest that still remains
Still watch as chill breeze nudge the restless clouds,
That reluctantly gives up Sun’s red stain,
There on the horizon a floating crowd.
Streetlights, pale starlight and a hunter’s moon
Shadows and shades returning reclaiming,
Clatter and clamor the under sung tune,
Darkness with dark lusting not restraining.
~ Will I see the morrow’s sun once more rise,
~ Or fall victim to fate’s nightly surprise.

Gloom
