Day breaks in shadow
A silky grey moonlight fades
In an ocher mist

Geese with Moon on their Wings

geese fly in crystal blue skies. 
they move in V shape,
soaring and gliding through air
along the moonscape.
with wind under wings,
they seem lunar rays in flight.
their loud honking rings.

Geese With Moon On Their Wings

Written August 17, 2025



When moonlight finally dims
I watch old geese fly -
First daybreak of autumn twirls
As  laughter runs by.
New morning---indeed
Wraps me in hushed embrace
A blessing I need!

Bright autumnal moon,
but no matter how far I walked,
unreachable.

Geese with Moon on Their Wings

Beneath waxing gibbous moon
like a river's flow
geese go gliding gracefully -
on their backs a glow.
As Luna shines on,
their winging is poetry
soaring into dawn.

If only you were

That summer night air forgot to
breathe, I forgot something too.
Not sure what, but I remember:

a star landed in the curved moon
—I saw it in the reflection
of my steaming apple tea

I remember wanting to
tell you, I witnessed a celestial love:
A lone star found her place
rested in the crescent’s embrace
I thought you’d love the story, a love
defying

PINK FLOYD SAID

songer.co/song/qejo3vwk1y2cs4pntmnrhg0q

[Verse 1]
Pink Floyd said,
“All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.”
Do you believe it?
How can that be?
A world in which there
Are no dreams,
Where everything
Is only as it seems—
Was Pink kidding me?
If God is dead
And dreams don’t exist,
If love’s a farce
Then I’m set adrift…
It's hard to breathe,
I got to breathe.

[Chorus]
'Cause I

Geese with Moon on Their Wings

A tired man surveys his field
in the morning, still.
Honking alerts his senses, 
giving him a thrill.
Can you believe these...
wild geese...with moon on their wings
dropped him to his knees?

GEESE WITH MOON ON THEIR WINGS-Wings of Farewell

GEESE WITH MOON ON THEIR WINGS 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gentle autumn breeze murmurs
summer’s farewell song
geese with moonlight on their wings
in flight and headstrong
across stellar sky
their honks a gentle refrain
never asking why

The moon's quiet sorrw

They, without a trace of shame,
painted their hearts with the crimson blood of their lovers’ lips.
And I… my only share was the cold blue of the moon,
spilled carelessly,
like a tear severed from the sky,
upon my cheeks.

Those drops sank into the ridges of my heart,
painting my eyes with a lifeless gleam,
and the moon’s quiet sorrow wound

I Am PINK

As the sun sets in the evening sky,
the pretty blue turns pink.
Oh my,
I am pink for the clouds to drink.
 

The moon must go to bed,
the sun must come out to play.
Marshmallow clouds meet the sun's rays,
I am pink showing off this new day.

Aboriginal Moon Cycle Revealed

Inspired by Aboriginal Story: Phases of the Moon - Ngalindi, the moon starts as a lean, young man. He overindulges (waxes) and becomes lazy. He grows fat, becoming the full Moon. His wives, displeased by his laziness, chop bits off him with axes, causing the Moon to fade away to nothing. Ngalindi hides in the

Romance over coffee

we met at dusk in a diner on Mars
the stars were aligned and
the moons shone bright

Until Then I Will Love You

Verse one:
One day when all the air is gone
When the stars grow where the trees belong
I will still love you
If there comes a day when all is gray
Cause to the moon, all colors ran away
Oh I will still love you
If suddenly pigs really fly
And broken hearts don't make us cry
Don't you worry, I will still
