Bless the Stars

Bless the stars for guiding light
hovering over silhouetted trees
 companions through the night

bless the moon for its soft glow
leading the way through darkness
into a realm where dreams grow

bless the sun for its warmth
nurturing earth and all creation
light has the ability to transform

The Night Sky


The sky deepens in darkness
stars glittering the heavens
welcoming the new moon

Drifting into a sea of dreams
guide me to shores of wisdom
they are waiting for rediscovery

Reset the path of inner harmony
serenade me with ancient songs
touching the frequency of love

Sailing towards morning light
nasty storm rides in on dragon wings
full of fury with lightning speed

clouds release a cleansing breath
watering the earth, filling river beds
soaking the tree roots for growth

Reset the path of inner harmony
rays of light crack through the storm
awakening to the promises of a new day

Strawberry Moon

Today, it felt hot for a spring day.  A tequila sunrise that makes one long for a few extra cubes of ice to cool the heat of the morning sun. The weather report said there was a chance of rain showers later in the day.  I searched the fiery sky for a sign of refreshing water, a needed relief for a parched land. Sadly, no rain came only, a few passing clouds making their way to another destination.

Sitting on the deck, enjoying some ripe strawberries with whipped cream I watched the last slice of the setting sun. I reflected on how quickly the canvas shifts. An early moon is just a piece of change in the softening sky, as day turns to evening.  Tonight, I will dream of softening hearts under a serene orb of light.

Looking For Stars - No Matter How Far

artist Erik Johansson - Surrealism Artist

 

To truly see the stars and moon
one must rely on a special lens
its beauty makes poets swoon
inking words with a lover's pen

Zooming in with a telescopic eye
getting closer to the unreachable
gasping at the wonder of the sky
heaven's magic seems UN-attainable

Yet, I find myself surrounded by light
enchanted by the whip-poor- will song
breathing in the warmth of the night
here, I will dream until the break of dawn

Moonstruck

 

Searching for moon

light, just before mid

night,  hidden beneath

thick gray clouds

 

where o' where are

you blood moon my

eyes filled with star

dust drifting into a dream

 

one can never under

estimate the wondrous

allure of a rare moon

walk, Neil Armstrong

touching the sea of

tranquility, MJ

mesmerizing the world

with lunar dance moves

 

slowly a few clouds

part, my heart does cart

wheels of delight as night

light shines on a sun

burned moon

 

a glimpse of magic

before heading to bed

whispering a sweet good

night

Beautiful Moon

The Sunday Muse

 

Tonight, there's a  beautiful full moon
starlight dances in the windless night
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes

longing to abandon this safe cocoon
glistening snow, golden beams of light
tonight there's a beautiful full moon

 you ghosted me, my heart marooned
this song of ours, we need to re-write
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes

 dreaming of you, morning arrives soon
lyrical poems, words of love, shall I recite
tonight there's a beautiful full moon

 entranced darkness, luminous swoon
illusions of yesterday, tomorrow's delight
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes

 serenading my beloved, I'm a blue loon
passion and fire, distant stars ignite
tonight there's a beautiful full moon
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes

author's note: It snowed here this
week, the night air crisp and cold
the beautiful full moon warmed the night

Blue Moon Moodiness

source unknown













Today, I view the moon in her full glory
I should sing her praises for the gift of light
through darkness...

BUT...

Today, I feel the moon her dark side
shadowing my thoughts and heart
in this world of confusion

WHO...

Will give witness to the goodness of life
opening the doorways to the unknown
glowing in heavenly light

WHAT...

will it take for humanity to see
we share this big blue planet
eclipsed in darkness and light

WHEN...

Will the sun warm our hearts
eternal love radiating outwards
to those who only know cold

WHERE...

have all the lost dreams gone
have they fallen into a vast crater
void of time and space

WHY...

Today, must I ride an emotional tide
uncertainty circles, earth is changing
awakening, under a blue moon
