Sigh

soliloquy of softness saddened
somber sleeping of starlight sound
song of silken sylvan sunset
psalm of satisfaction found

Full Moon's Light

Mysterious sense, 
Accompanying starlight,
Howling creatures thrive.

the shadow of a pearl, in June,

The grove of redwoods;
Silent, an ancient stillness,
Soothing and serene --
I once saw a goddess there,
Eyes of night and starlight hair.

Spring wandering moon
Glass lake, starlight reflections
of skies that once knew the noon.

Deepening dark blue
midnight swells with bright starlight
silver in the sky.

Where Beauty Goes

Is the starlight that we see
just remnants
of where it use to be
The light that
with honour given
hangs from her meekest eyelash
stealing every shadow

Tanka 2

Swirling clouds twisting High above the silent town Constant movement with Starlight illuminating A scene of grace and beauty
Form: Tanka

Cynosure

Lovely dense poem
In the paths of life and death
Ocean in movement
A coveted companion
In a starlight or neon
