In The Moonlight Shadows Dancing

~*Marge Tindal*~

Softly through the window
rays of moonbeams touch my face
Shadowed by the memories of
another time
another
place

~o~
In the moonlight shadows dancing
reminding me of love once glancing
back at me through another's eyes
lit with promise and surprise

~o~
Love that made my heart freely dance
now merely shadows of a taken chance
In the moonlight shadows play
dancing shadows of another day

~o~
In the moonlight shadows dancing
In the moonlight shadows romancing
Sound of music from above
filled with promises of love

~o~
Dancing shadows on moonlight bearing
Lovely memories we are sharing
In the moonbeams romantic glancing
In the moonlight shadows dancing




~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

A beautiful piece, Marge!  I love how you repeat "in the moonlight shadows dancing" throughout the poem, a great effect.  

Take care,

Marge,
Yet another great read. Sweet and soft, and just a little bit lonely (sort of).

BrianM~
Thank you, love.

Melissa~
I sincerely appreciate your comments.


PoetdeVine~
Mine too - Thank you.

BSC~
Thank you so much,hon.


Mike~
Yes, just a touch ... but 'soft and sweet'.

Balladeer~
This beautiful piece came about
as a challenge from our own Hoot gal.
I thought that it spawned some of the loveliest poetry of any challenge to date from many of our poets.
I'm thankful for the inspiration.
Thanks for the 'icing' ...

Love ya'

Marge, this really is beautiful. I agree with Balladeer, the title could stand alone as poetry. But then you followed up with a poem worthy of that intro. I loved it.

I recall this one...in fact, you started quite an inspirational flurry when it first hit these blue pages... perhaps Ron will want all of those who participated to make a specific section in the book!?

Oh wait, then we would have to get the pairings of those who pen off of each other so well...

ah well, perhaps Volumes II, III, etc. etc.

Ok not that you really need one more vote, but I do like this piece here. So I will hit that vote box anyway.   I agree with the sad tone of it...but it's peaceful at the sametime in a way.
