Notes About The Poem

Dear Moon

Anxiety eats away inside
wars and suffering never subside
there, comfort as I gaze up
flood nor fire steal your tranquility
clouds erotically dress you 
bountiful are the dreams resting here

Vast is the distance of knowledge
why oh moon, I sometimes ask
does sword and shield not lie down
inevitable death, visits too soon
Dear moon, you have inspired many
A samurai of peace

Very soon
shall we send to you
wrapped in a canvas of desire
seekers all
when they returns to be among us
visions plenty shall paint and sing
let peace begin her waltz
Samurai wishes only to sleep

The moon, a beauty in itself to behold and an unveiled mystery for human souls.. The moon remains a dream, heaven, peace.. a source of "comfort" and inspiration as long as Man does not set a stain on it! Only beautiful and knowledgeable souls "seekers" of Truth travel to the infinite space and bring glory to earth and Humanity.. A profound work of art, much to ponder! My deepest regards Arthur. Be blessed always.

wow, this is so beautiful. It almost looks like it could have been an entry for a recent contest that just got judged and yet I see no congrats, but if it were an entry, I'd surely have given this one a star!!

Samurai want to sleep, not wet their swords. Just use it for a whirling dervish dance.
