| The Moon
Posted: 10/6/2009 8:19:46 AM | First Landing
In a starscape of fireflies,
on the highest limb of my backyard apple tree,
I perched, eleven years young,
while Apollo waltzed with the Moon
to the music of crickets.
In a late summer field of lost butterflies,
on my patchwork blanket in a crowd of stained-glass children,
I lay, twelve years old,
gazing up at the Moon in Yasgur’s sky,
tracing the dance steps left behind in the dust. | |

Posted: 10/6/2009 7:19:18 PM | Two souls as one
Tonight take flight
The pinnacle of love
Arranged simply
Wildflowers
Gathered and strewn
Across miles of star fed seas
And harvest moons
A sheaf of wheat
Painted in the corner of my eye
To protect what’s left
Of ardent love
And autumn splendour
The beginning
Where lovers go
Spreading their seeds
Of candled inspiration
The flame eternal. | |

The moon let down its grey hair
A familiar day | |

Posted: 10/8/2009 9:56:43 PM | I loved the haiku ommie.
Morning crests the sky
as a bird of prey silently
hunting for breakfast
she lets down her hair
our lady moon
and in the blink of an eye
a bomb will go off on her pole
sending answers off into space
I'm not sure it's a good idea
playing again with mother nature
blowing things up for fun
I prefer her antiquity. | |

So full
she flies
undaunted
wild, and big
Like a big
Pumpkin Pie
she absords
all the sky;
It's Amore'
If she knew me
before, I so certain
adore, it's Amore'
So the Moon hits the sky
like a big ole MOONPIe
its AMORE'
Life is silly , its real
laugh and know it is
real ,
It's Amore'

"The full moon is glowing
glowing and growing
the full moon is glowing
down on me
mother, shine on me
a child I will always be
mother, carry me
back to the sea"

mother earth carry me

so much like mntnwldflower's post above,
these are the words of a song sung in repetition,
almost as a chant, that I have known and sung for many years....
and like you, mountain wildflower, the author is unknown to me | |

see how she spins, watch her fingers fly
she is the beginning, she is the end
she is the weaver, and we are the web
she changes,
everything she touches,
everything she touches, changes"

Posted: 11/4/2009 9:35:30 AM | talking to the moon
(sheer lunacy)
I get no answers
but watching it
fills me in on the tide
and when to reap and sow
the man in the moon laughs
and then I know | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 9:45:34 AM | the shadow of the moon
draped across his eyes
I felt calm in the embrace
of eyes shining
no visible cue
the snow saw everything | |

and on...and on....and on...
autumn, apologies this one also did not have the moon spoken in it,
but offering it as a sort of footnote to mntnflowers's last post above
where I again know a variation of her post, but sung in repetition....
(btw, we're all a refreshing rain on a hot day!)
returning to the moon, here is a last line, 8 line I wrote
(except for the first line:) a couple of days ago...
together we could light up the darkest sky
like the full moon glowing so bright tonight
even with clouds its light prevails
as if floating behind a thousand veils....
imagine us flying on her lunar sails
or we could be equally swimming in sea
so free to be whatever we wish
imagine us underwater now we are fish....

Posted: 11/5/2009 12:49:07 PM | | That's ok We I am enjoying all the posts and just sitting back for a while. No sense trying to write a poem it has to be born and want to leap out. Keep writing and welcome to those who I haven't seen before in here. | |

at harvest and whistles
hedgerow tunes for the green children

Sanity lives
inside the moons head.
Undaunted by life
as we know it.
No news at 5:00!
He makes stars
come alive!
And he shows it!
:)  Autumn! | |

Posted: 11/16/2009 10:19:01 PM | Play on dear people from every walk of life
and every star that was born forever child
we opened the windows wide and saw orion
as for the little falling stars
the leonids they had yet to arise
and proclaim this spectacle theirs
turn out the lights, the cities, the towns
and watch the east
life is dancing some where out there
and I will superimpose a stamp
on Orion
close the window
and blow out all light
magic is afoot on the dark side of the moon. | |
