Enigma

Cryptic moon in midnight sky, wan enigma mystifies, silken light on forest floor, daylight colors are no more. Daylight colors are no more, grays and blacks a metaphor, night winds coax a lullaby from the dark and starlit sky. From the dark and starlit sky, we are left to wonder why, distant gems on foreign shores trap us in eternal wars.

At this point, I believe it will take almost total destruction before man wakes up and says enough. Greed and power play a part but the biggest part is played by outright stupidity, hence the re-election of people like Bush. Vince

Love the originality of the form, the repetition of the last line to the next verse. The imagery is pristene and the words flow so well. Michael
