Cradle My Tears, Moon

The moon's bow beckons to me, wind's frosty fingers entwining mine, and I lay myself on the balcony's ledge immersing, losing myself under that inky blanket sea the clouds rolling past, so fast, skimming like waves veiling moonlight, then letting it peek through like a shy bride beautiful, so beautiful a gentle glow of soul a silent lullaby that rocks me If only for a moment I keep my cradle of tears at bay, as I let the moon do the weeping for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Debussy's Clair de Lune now mingles in my mind like soft smoke and tears come streaming... Tired, so tired am I. 01162014114a137

NIKKO!!! This is so awesome! I'm in love with the moon and you just made her so resplendent with this write. So soothing and beautiful in its sadness. I'm in awe. This isn't the angels with folded wings, though. You gave me the wrong link!

returning to this gorgeous one. You should check out the new contest using Peter White's smooth jazz. I'ts a long song so I am still working on mine and it's not very original. But it's lyrics, and generally they are not super original poetry! You would probably come up with something magnificent, Nikko.

This poem soothes the soul Nikko and leaves me inspired to want to write. A beautiful poem that would seem to go wonderfully with Clair de Lune a favorite of mine.

Oh my Nikko.......this one is close to my heart, and so lovely and sad. Do you know, that Clair de Lune was my mother's favorite classical piece, and when I was learning piano, it was a struggle, but I made myself learn it for her. She didn't live long enough to hear me play it, but our granddaughter was named after this piece in honor of my mom. :) This poem speaks to me! ps......I've missed seeing you.....so happy to find this!
