In the Moonlight, Shadows Dancing In the moonlight, misty dark and still comes the shadows dancing ‘cross my window’s sill. Misty foggy moonlight, embracing all in memory what lies in yon moonlight, let my starving heart do see. The shadows of past transgressions come forth, and they now sage, not of merry mirth ~ proof all I know was taken from Mother Earth now weighs me down, waist in chains now girthed. Silently the drums roll on, through the moonlight’s call, in the moonlight, shadows dancing, dancing on the pale; silently the shadows show the misery of man in the moonlight, shadows dancing, no one took a stand. Shadows dancing, beckoning me on in the moonlight feelings of feelings of feelings I cannot fight, toward wisps of beings long since past lay before me broken promises, strewn in the grass. Oh in the cool damp moonlight, shadows do slow dance to have lived and loved the earth, life’s greatest romance, for without a promise to the earth to hold in great esteem life will lose its hold on me, and all of life’s clear meaning. In the moonlight, misty dark and still comes the shadows dancing ‘cross my window’s sill. Misty foggy moonlight, embracing all in memory what lies in yon moonlight, let there be truth to see. 24 January, 2000 ©KRJ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine- Around the warm circle of the fire I watched dancers from my past come to life in this piece. Mother Earth surrendered her best to us. We must listen to the ~shadow spirits~ to know how to reclaim the abundance. We must bring it back in time. This piece is awesome. I'm so very glad you shared your thoughts. <~~~~*Marge*~~~> ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
