Night, Wind and Son
.
I wake in the night
To the moon and stars
Shining ever so bright
Embellishing the skies
.
The wind whispers His name
Rustling through the trees
Who are you, I ask
I am He, it replies
.
The Son, heaven’s crown
Blesses all He shines upon
Bringing life-giving rain
Relief from heat and pain

Dignity
.
Never flushed nor flustered,
Cool, calm and collected,
Serene
As the moon in the sky
Sails on by
Alone on her own
Quest for eternity,
Search for infinity…

Haloed Moon & Moon Dogs
The Haloed Moon
A full moon shone bright,
milky white, in the sky tonight.
She sailed alone, dignified,
self-assured on her path
across the skies’ eternal plane.
A haloed moon she was,
With a pair of dogs
at her side ~
seldom seen ~
like a crownéd queen.

Horses screamed and armour clashed,
Warning shouts filled the air while
Mistress moon sailed overhead,
Her face inscrutable, no trace that she
Could hear or see the field below.
My eyes, unfocused, saw by her illumination
Row upon row of soldiers in ghost-like ranks
Marching down the hillside relentlessly,
Implacable, immovable, unbending, unyielding,
Their legs frozen in place for hundreds of years
As they stood in their prime, overseeing the scene
And remembering…

Dancing with the Moon
.
‘Twas a wild moon night
With creatures taking flight,
Dogs howled, cats yowled
And the wind lashed branches ‘cross the sky.
Sheltered safe in our secret place, you and I,
Hearts rock ‘n rolling, emotions exploding,
We loved as no-one ever loved before;
Our love would never die,
Or so we thought, both you and I.
But time did not agree
Faithfulness you failed to show
Nor truthfulness; loyalty was fantasy,
And so the dream was doomed to die,
Dashed by the shock of a fatal blow.

I watch the moon hang in the sky
I meet her gaze eye to eye
Lantern-like she doesn’t blink
Nor give a hint of what she thinks
As she reflects on earth below
Where human ants scurry to and fro
What thorny issues does she ponder
What on Earth is there I wonder
To keep that stare fixed day and night
On the view from that great height

Silence is broken
Torn open
By the hoot
Of a solitary owl
And the quarter moon
Exposed
Unclothed
Slides
Tries to hide
Behind a cloud
In the sky

If there’s a man on the moon
Is there a maid up there too?
Could it be me and you?
Both in tune?
On the moon?

Come and dance with me
Let us move to the music
As the tide draws the sea
Come and dance with me
‘Til we feel our hearts beating
In rhyme, yours and mine
Come and dance with me
Just you and I
Beneath a star-studded sky
With the moon riding high
And the man in the moon waves goodbye
~
