I know what the moon speaks of on nights like last, not perfect at all, so shadowed and quartered and distilled by the glow of color from the falling sun. It detailed a cloud and enchanted the sidewalk where I walked darkly around the block and down the alley, the middle of the street my path and lights closing down to sleep the city seemed to all be breathing long pale breaths slumbering in drained verve. I heard a sigh from a driveway an echo of my own it stumbled and dropped at my feet and I stopped, I could hear my own breath and in the silence I had made with my presence no crickets hummed. Then a coyote called from far away igniting another as the tree lined street focused the scent of jasmined air and Vavaldi whispered summer from an open window. I know what the moon speaks. It speaks of coupling this solitude, of yearning that is almost palpable; it speaks of time ticking out and it says leave room for a dance in candle lit room and the wax melting into morning ---- from 9-8-00 [This message has been edited by Martie (09-08-2003 11:43 PM).] |

What a wonderful poem to read late at night....and a mighty fine one to live, something to wish for whether we have it or not. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

When reading your poems, the word "excellent" keeps crossing my mind..The words of this one crissed and crossed many times, carrying the weight of that word.. Excellent indeed! Like Frost, you are aquainted with the night, its magics and its mysteries. Thank you for sharing them with me....ice/ford |

"I know what the moon speaks of" Oh...yes you certainly do, my friend... and you've captured in beautifully.  If you judge people, you have no time to love them. |

 (smiles) Oh Martie, you certainly do know what the moon speaks, sweet friend, because you are one with the moon and despite the yearning, through the cycle you are bound to find the greatest peace and illumination to your soul! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Martie, "It speaks of coupling this solitude, of yearning that is almost palpable; it speaks of time ticking out and it says leave room for a dance in candle lit room and the wax melting into morning" Creating fresh memories of when the moon shined even brighter. Nice, so very nice. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. [This message has been edited by Larry C (09-11-2003 10:36 PM).] |
