dove...

 

Moon crossed the night
I saw her first through branches not yet bare
but shivered in cold winter bright
brave reds and yellows holding there
like fluttered wings that proved the wind
made a song upon the winter air

 

and moon rose above the trees
painted them in pale white glow
rooftops made a portrait frame to tease
the hurried night, rushing on to tomorrow
that will not wait,  I watch the hours passsing by

and beams that hold the world so still
silent flow of silver glows sends thoughts stirring
to an empty place each heart would fill
a distance of birth, for we are creatures of broken strings


Love is a bridge of light
connecting lives just as Stars blend soon
to become a stream by distant sight
and shed night fire upon unseen moons

 

like bright fires that travel the endless cold
the enduring answer to why we are here
the one meaning our lives can forever hold
as night holds gentler Sun to fill winter air

boundless, journey of soul, stays within... a flightless dove
to stand upon a bridge of love, to cross a bridge of love.

    Beautiful, sometimes dark, despite the rays of the moon. Maybe that is just me but there are stuffs that contemplation bring out in us that gives rise to such depths.

    I am glad the moon inspired you, and of course Nascimento's song. Your poem is not only beautiful, but thoughtful and captures the feel of the cold night air, the mist of air from the viewer as it glistens in the moonlight.
    Thanks for being inspired and to bring your poem here

    Ah, the host will like this one! Though I should never say that for it seems when I do, hosts seem to go out of their way to prove me wrong, lol.

    It's like opening your eyes to the morning sun cascading through the window, reminding you of images you'd forgotten, beauty you had ceased to remember.

    Is that why we are here? See now I am confused...I always thought people were just a figment of my imagination...you mean...you fellows actually exist on your own? Oh my...this requires some re-thinking!

    Ignore me, the poem was more than a little beautiful, as symbols of truth and as an example of art.
