Listening to every heart

Moon Less Evening Shade

Now, I wander,
having played
with thought
and twine
having encompassed
what is not mine,
moon less wander,
evening’s shade,
skies in cover,
stars evade…

will it rain me snow
on high, or cover me with
ice in cry

I but be a poet, weak
engaged in thought of quiet speak
beat I no drum,
but still, I seek
the truth, the truth
would I beseech,

the truth, the truth,
is it in reach?

I come to a quandary,
and its fade,
and jade, the color green,
is what I encounter
day by day
and envy is
its other name
or so, a poet would say…

understood, no, I am not,
but not by my own consent,
for I would understood then be,
but how many limbs
be bent?

This responsible
person in me
should grasp the say
       carpe diem
and hold it all the way

letting me understand
those who, not me,
those whose grasp is less my own
as I, in quiet, be,

less more my thoughts before I speak,
less evil become my tongue,
I seek an answer,
swift, to me,
as I seek it, rung, by rung…

find me now backbone of heaven
break me bread if it unleavened,
salt my soul
if wounds would bleed
and in quandary, find lemons in need…

as I would gather me quiet
in
this moon less evening shade…

Very nice sunshine, I really like the lines,
"I but be a poet, weak engaged in thought
of quiet speak"  two thumbs

Got the "e" from Ron and it seems to be
working. It was strange, I did it right but
he said it could have just been the server's
fault... thanks so much again...

Skies in cover stars evade.....what a lovely line...
This poem reads like a prayer.....in truth what is the truth?  I enjoyed this much...

You knocked me off my chair with this one---and I'm typing my reply from the floor!!!
Gadzooks, you just blow me away, Dear poetess! It may be awhile before I can fly again, for my wings have sustained some damage in my fall...but the read was worth it!

Warm hugs (but careful ones as the wings are a bit tender)
