      darkness
in an empty silence
starless lost
   behind the clouds
confusions found
  along its day

ripples in the moon

    timeless
something is still in the air
a fullness filled
   breaking the silence
parting through the night
  its weary way

of ripples in the moon

    echoes
the good things that we remember
let-goes free
   releasing gravity
of times less departing
   and moments which stay

within ripples in the moon


    darkness lost
   timelessly filled
  echoing freely

"You don't have to go
You're the poetry man
You make things all rhyme" - P. Snow

I'm not sure I got to read you before when I first joined. But now that I'm able to come back more, I'm glad I caught one of your works. You are a thoughtful writer and seem to have a great blend of fact and fancy. Excellent!

yes i like how you blend science and
romance into an intergalactic momentary
release of awe

Yep, I thought I would like this one and I was right.  I do like it and am glad to know that I am right again.

Thank you and good writing - from one who is right.

This really is quite lovely, ct.

And it is beautifully laid out.

"darkness"


"ripples in the moon"

    "timeless"


"of ripples in the moon"

    "echoes"


"within ripples in the moon"


~ And you tie it all up beautifully
with your closing lines.

    "darkness lost
   timelessly filled
  echoing freely"

I define myself by all moments and how they teach and touch me......02
