nor dare suggest it came too soon. Tonight~be light~unbelt breastplate and dance with me, lavender's moon. Thunder rumbles hunger's roar I be blessed by sage's bower Thor count the raging tick of lore- crows in caw--high in the tower of the cypress pert in spring invisible cicada's sing as the lightning cuts the sky etching traces in mind's eye. Long for home--it wants-she wants to be the land she used to be; I understand, and she knows me it's why she gives me gift of haunt- she knows my heart. I want. I want. Wishes spat from silver spoon-- I dance beneath lavender moon. |

STANDING OVATION!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it!!! I saw the lavender moon in my head as I read this, reflected off of a lunar spoon a fairy godmother was holding, shining forth a hazy moon of roseate love. BRAVO!!! Your poems always bring magic to passions! (smiles) You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Where I sit, was once a swamp. Long for home--it wants-she wants to be the land she used to be; I understand, and she knows me it's why she gives me gift of haunt- she knows my heart. I want. I want. Wishes spat from silver spoon-- I dance beneath lavender moon. THe ghosts that surround us don't always haunt sometimes they comfort us. A Beautiful poem, I see that you have found that quiet place.  "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

beautiful..I wrote of the lavender once..... Lavender Blues Tonight the moon in paleness full Gathers all who view with waiting eyes As darkness looms, and sun goes down They see the beauty of lavender skies. Desires glitter in eyes like stars That rise and flicker on the velvet vast Caged the passion, of those in love Shadow enhanced by moonbeams cast. Leaving trails of falling stars Caressed by breezes in the night That kiss them lightly as they walk Their passions reign in soft moonlight. Throughtout the shadows laced in glow A painted sky begins it's play The silent music sings it's song Of beauty's dawning on it's way. Wrapping up in circled warmth As moon begins it's wane this night They kiss the dark and dance their touch In silent dreams, of lavender light. 6*2...something to make you smile...maybe? ~M "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

I'd like to thank you all--but truly? This was a moment before the squalls of Tropical Storm Allison. I looked up and the moon was indeed, LAVENDER...and the rest just sort of sang itself to me. and hey, I couldn't help it, but there WAS beauty in the midst of destruction too. Nature just is what it is. Hugs to all...hope you all are well! |
