Beneath the missing moon and the silent summer stars
there is a zone of unknown twilight that greets
your gaze if you try to mark the dance of your days
around a midnitesun’s moving maze,
a difficult course to follow
‘lest you are fleet of foot...
for she vanishes into thin layers of time
as you watch her attempt to rise and shine,
even as you dream she’ll take root
like a hardy evergreen.

Red sky morning, mateys take warning:
the midnitesun cannot stay a full year,
for the same gods that rule the sun, moon and stars
keep her gypsy heart galloping ‘cross lands afar,
to fantastic places that may not truly exist,
to centered places of heart, soul and mind
softly subdued by passionate poetic mist,
surrounded by kindred souls that seek to find
Nirvana, Valhalla, a Heaven of some kind.

The midnitesun is on the move,
but she did not disappear...
rest assured she shall reappear
before the end of this very year
with her perennial attitude,
just in a different latitude.

(thanking a Pirate named Jimmy for that last line)

You are truly a gypsy...

This is great. I feel how familiar you are with the Midnitesun!
