Gibbous Moon Years had passed since my thoughts ran to you, memories ticked away, scars, the only relics of time spent as one. Late last night, when the moon was gibbous, you reappeared, haunting my telephone with unchanged charm. Sleeping senses rushed back to meet me with sudden clarity, you were always skillful at zeroing in. I asked you about your poetry was it still as evocative, what had become of you, and were you doing well? The outpour of words slowed into silences, you, an apparition, me, anchored, our differences great. Still, a kind of love ever lingers and still a kind of love ever lingers. © 2001 Corinne Bailey Inspired by “Diamonds & Rust” Joan Baez, 1975 [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 05-03-2001).] |

Well, sweet poet, interesting piece.... never have I head of the word gibbous till now. It suits this piece too, its more then half and not totally illuminating.  Isn't it just the mystery of your pieces. Park |

Bob, thank you, kind sir - both can stir us,' yes? S Arthur - thanks, hmmm, it could be either! Park, I've always wanted to use that word in a poem - ever since I went to a planetarium with my son a few years ago and heard it for the first time. Corinne |

Corinne~ First you catch me with the 'moon' ... THEN ~ 'Still, a kind of love ever lingers and still a kind of love ever lingers.' You wrap me with remember ~ Thank you, poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
