August’s Amber Moon

it rose from the horizon
slipping gold
throughVenetian slats

drenched my world
in color
as syrup on the stacks

it sweetened up the visions
that lingered
before my wanting eyes

and coated all in saccharin
through the
music of your sighs

it drew my arms around you
as if
tendrils on a vine

grasping at the closure
of two
lives’ luxurious entwine

August’s amber moon
kissed the
crest of a distant hill

bringing to our beings
a warm
and luscious fill


©August 11, 2002

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, I too have seen a hazy moon like this and it is breathtaking to stand out in the heat at night and see the soft pastel glow! (sigh) This is simply marvelous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I love the special color the moon takes on this time of year. This is beautiful, Virginia.

You look inside my wild mind
never knowing what you'll find
still I want you all the time
yeah I do
'cause you get me

Mmmmmmmmmm, what a word picture you conjured in my mind

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
