We Who Will Not Last the Day

We who will not last the day
Find time before the night to play.
The gentle laugh, the chequered gray,
The shadows usher starlit ray.

Gentle Breaths of Night

Gentle breath of night
Passing silent by moonlight;
Scattered pages that
Fly through faded horizons,
Dark rainbow flares, starlit sights...

Starlit Night

Heart filled with desire,
Inspired by divine fire.
Seeking truth and light.
May the stars hear my own plight,
As I pray throughout the night.

Endless Moon

The endless Moon going through it’s phases
a soft glow even when it’s not seen;
Love leaves behind starlit traces;
In dark times it’s still pristine .

Constellations

Clusters of stars over the starlit sky,
soon become nothing to the human eye,
use your wings and take to the stars,
before your back into the worlds arms.

The Moon

One spring night,
Just for fun,
I rode the crescent moon.  
Then left her below to gaze on me,
As I soared miles high
In the still starlit laughing
Spring air!

Pale Light

Tonight, I gaze up 
at the ashen sky,
at a pale half moon 
that is

... starlit.


With my groggy head 
on my clasped hands,
I stare at pale stars 
that are

... moonlit.

Moony Musings

Moonlit moonrise over a moony moonshine,
Starry-eyed stargazers beneath a starlit starscape,
Wandering wanderers wander in wonder,
Until fleeting hearts no longer fleetingly flutter

Fireflies Haiku


      ~Fireflies~




      starlit, still, summer night

      two fireflies did alight

      softly, on my golden, moving pen

Redamancy



Framed in the moonlight -
you appear ethereal.
Quintessential, beyond reach.

I shine no brighter -
than your starlit gaze. I say...
'the light shall bend to our will'.

Rise, the Silvered Moon

sunlight dims at dusk
blaze diminished and fading
as she slips to sea

rise, the silvered moon
with a scepter in his hand
to rule starlit night

celestial rapport
harmony and unison
as allied partners

The Sky

The sky is like a painters canvas    
Full of sunrises and sunsets
Of clear blue skies and starlit nights


Each day paints something new
And wonderful
A portrait beyond compare
Of natures beauty that is so fair

Moon Spoon

Moon Spoon

The crescent moon spoons the starlit sky.
Waiting to become nights’ brightest light.
Watching lovers greet their waxing love.

Princess Tamar of Georgia

[paraphrase of a Svan folk song]

Tamar's mother said, "Tamar,
You were born fully grown.
Child, I saw you in a dream
I looked into the starlit sky and saw
That you were the village
And you were the world."

The Temporary Imposter

Did someone ever promise you the moon?
You believed him on that starlit night in June.
Fate intervened, and it came to a painful end.
Love’s just a temporary imposter, and gone like the wind.

Fireflies

Fireflies
         

         Starlit, still, summer night.
         On my golden, mighty pen
         Two fireflies descend.

Winter Sestet

Winter's chill brings frost and snow,
The icy winds that fiercely blow,
The silent night, a starlit sky,
The gentle flakes that softly fly,
The snowman stands, a jolly sight,
Lit by the moon so fresh and white.

Starlit reverie

A crystal skyline in the azure air,
Where wishes dance and spirits dare.
I stretch my hands toward stars that gleam,
Yet find my hopes are but a dream.
A radiant glow, a whispered sigh,
That shimmering pie in the sky.

A Christmas If Only

Ho, Ho, Ho, 
Presents for the poor
Santa exclaimed, oh lore,  
From his sleigh, up high
In the starlit sky
Given by you all, my oh my.

Stargazer

Realizing in 
that very moment, when your 
hair was coloured with 

nocturnal darkness
and your eyes revealed the fair,
starlit sky itself,

at last, I happened
to become my true self: a 
found one, a gazer of stars.

Zephyr

Sky ornate with starlit shimmer, 
a pallid moon leers through a smother of cloud.
Wind in sporadic subtleness hushes through a clash of trees 
as a lulling stream in synchrony 
entices one to harmony  

Deep within im smiling.
