By dark of night I have the sight. |

Beneath a lambent moon of glowing I sit and hold myself from knowing all the future that's been showing by light of silver moon within the glow of stars in shining I sit alone, bereft and pining and know that wisdom is declining - the piper calls the tune. Held by the planets all surrounding and dark of night kept all abounding I see my end but also founding of love, as life's great boon I see the end and clasp it knowing the moon goes on, still filled with glowing its gift to me is now bestowing - a future come too soon. For I am weary but not ready My life not spent my flame is steady and love of life, is wine so heady while sleep is not yet swoon so dark the night, I ponder weary a foretaste of the world made dreary and morning drifts to find me teary, a sad and worn buffoon But sunlight comes, a new day dawning and I've survived the night till morning the moon in sleep now sheds its warning and faith, hot aired balloon I rise today, the darkness nesting deep inside, the joy that's cresting for I have passed the night of testing atop the dream of rune Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

love the articuate rhyme and the message behind...I too lie awake sometimes thinking the best of my earthly joys have already crested for the thrill of life, it's briefly invested |

I rise today, the darkness nesting deep inside, the joy that's cresting for I have passed the night of testing atop the dream of rune Kethry, I love the way you rhymed in this poem. It's just beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. Hugs Ethel |

But sunlight comes, a new day dawning and I've survived the night till morning I've lost count of the years my "sleep" was described as such. *S* This is superb, lady... |
