SHADOWS CALLED OUT

During the fall of evening shadows last night
something called to me
spirits were swaying and dancing
sinuous shapes twisting
alluring me with violet patterned beckoning
the outline of a memory
captured in supple arms of ebony now reached out
stroking the wooden floor
a caress all too soon ebbing away
as the sun began to tire and set to sleep
my mind
now prodded by those tempting shades
could not
and midnight found me dancing alone
remembering...
another moonless night beneath the face of silent stars

FAREWELL TONIGHT TO DAY


Sinking onto the new mown grass
soft moon rays settle there
spreading out like a
beautiful linen tablecloth
waiting for lovers to picnic upon
The stars look like bubbles from champagne
as they twinkle against a velvety backdrop
the brook chatters then sings a sweet love song
accompanied by wind chimes
and fiddler crickets serenade too
the night air smells of honeysuckle and lavender
gentle breezes flap the edges of the milky tablecloth...
slowly but surely the night begins to pale
and though love songs still sweetly sing
in honeysuckle and lavender scented air
the moon folds up her cloth and packs it away
in hopes that lovers will long to picnic
when moonlight bids farewell tonight to day
