Notes About The Poem

Barefoot Tangerine Moon

Barefoot in luxuriant grass, luscious, pearl moonlight falling down,
In the golden season of sensual thrills, in the hours without sound,
Underneath the tempting tangerine tree, eating of its fragrant fruit,
With the stars dancing to tomorrow, by enigmatic, invisible routes.

Barefoot in peaceful dreamland, caressed softly by romantic moon,
When the ebony world lies in waiting, for the yellow canary's tune,
Barefoot in tangy tangerines, in the warm, soft, wandering breezes,
In the darkest hours of sleepless night, when it seems time ceases.

Amazing! Another FAVE. This one will travel on, long after we have lifted from the tactile surface of gloriously green, living, ever blossoming possibilities.

How spectacular, Evelyn! And think, i read this while listening to a Vivaldi cello concerto! Dimensions! “enigmatic, invisible routes”. my old brain jumped new life at those word. A marvelling pen. Hugs, sally
