In the mild heat of a young summer night
running wild across endless star-filled skies
a lost child searching an answer that's right
in the tiled questions within Heaven's eyes

What's above, and beyond the edge we live
and what of things that will never make sense
like true love lost and all we have to give
riding dove wings and dreaming in past tense

With shadows cast upon such barren lands
moonlight glows, fruitless and in decadence
giving shows of what is in empty hands
leaving woes of each moon's rememberance

On the rise within just a few nights soon
with new eyes feast on the Strawberry Moon

*June 24th, 2002 will be another full moon ...
but this moon holds much to my desire.
It will be this years Strawberry Moon.

create an addiction .... share a smile!!

Your words are impressive, I mean really!

I read what Nancy wrote, and yes that song comes to mind.  Yoss/Wilfred Yeats, posted the words to that song in another forum that inspired him to write one of his many wonderful poems.

"I'll be a dandy
and I'll be a rover
you'll know who I am
by the song that I sing"

*Bless him*

You triggered a nice thought with this poem of yours...it is lovely Craig~

Thanks~

How cool is that?  I never heard of that, but now I'll definitely be watching out for it!  Great poem...beautiful imagery!
