Waning moon like scimitar
   cutting at the dark
shards of light shining afar
   uplifting Heaven's ark
And night creeps by like dragon's smoke
   until the time that it will stroke
      the time for morning to awake
         in darkness till the dawning break
Fading soon the eyeing eve
   watching Earth revolve
Spying till the stars must leave
   no mystery to solve
And night creeps by with raging ease
   escaping land and tempting seas
      for Waning Moon still holds the keys
         to tidal ebb and flowing breeze


      ( the moon is not made up of cheese ! )


...looking at the stars   4/13/88

sounds like something I wrote a long time ago. But much much better.

Oh, talk to me of the moon and you've got my rapt attention.
I really enjoyed this one -
The moon and I share our dances -
Thank you for sharing this one.

Thanks to you, Dark Angel. There seems to be quite a brightness about you for one who has a such a "dark" name. Angels come in many forms. I will email you. Sorry, I really don't know what a icq3 is.

Thanks Eloise. It is not often that I see that name. Do you know they have a spirit in the Plaza Hotel in New York ? No relation...
right ? Just kidding. Thank you for your words

Eloise, forgot to mention that the spirit's name is also eloise, I believe. just wanted to insert there. You probably figured that out anyway.
