The Nether Moon

As these cool winds sieze the autumn land
And the trees of rainbows dance the breeze
I think of you beneath the nether moon
With silverd light that paints your lips
And the air in tune with swaying hips

The salted air from an ancient sea,
Drifts in thickened breaths of forest air
Down trodden paths and wooded lairs
You dance for me to a wind song harp
Like the paint of words in your Tapestries

This dance in light of feathered glitter
As shadows watch the rythmic splendour
Darting in as a nethered partner
In perfect time with a wind song tune
To bow and give another room.

I think of you in an ancient land,
Where you lived before in a far away past
And I was there to watch you dance
And I was there to hold your hand,
Of this I dream Oh bonnie bonnie lass.

thy muse returns with grace and class...
this is lovely p-man...
reads like a breeze whispered thru windchimes...
thy Celtic muse does inspire thee well

So nice to read your rhymes again.

We're all feeding our lonely ... like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide ... if we just find the right words to say.

Another beautiful metphor - a blend of sea and lass!

Nice to see you here again, Park!

One questions:

"I think of you beneith the nether moon"

(should be beneath, or is this a play on words?)
