Who dwells upon the dark side
Concealed in the ebony night
Who is he who turns away
When hiding from the light

Of Heaven’s solar star
Casting radiance on his face
Hoping to wake the man in the moon
Asleep in outer space

 

“There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark” – Gerry O’Driscoll

Old and tangled roots

Taking days to breach the earth

Teach about patience

Upon this Chair ~ #poetry

She plays the sweetest melody

A violin, tucked under her chin

The sounds that make the angels sing

As on her fiddle, she would begin

A sadness, on her face, appears

Her eyes closed, as she’s recalling

The one who sat upon this chair

A child’s tears, would soon be falling

From this daughter, who loved her deeply

Though, no longer could she hear her play

Except through her very own fingers

Grandma said mommy wanted it this way

And so she plays, for her mother

A woman, she can no longer see

Until her time, on this earth, is done

When they’ll play, together again, for eternity

Friday Fantasy ~ She Knows Not When ~ #poetry

Night appears and chases day

Stands to watch the starlight play

Noticing one that outshines the rest

Reflecting, a glow, upon her chest

Wraps her in stardust, ever true

She watches, as mountains fade from view

No longer does the sun remain

Darkness, once again, shall reign

As she blends in with the midnight sky

And stars gently twinkle, before they die

For she is the one who chased away light

Beauty now gone, from her blinded sight

Once she was a beacon, to shine the way

Now, in the dark, filled with dismay

Hoping one day, she will shine, again

She can only wait, for she knows not when

She lets me know when she is near

Her footsteps in the hallway, clear

Doors that open when no one’s home

She always knows when I’m alone

And yes, at times, she’ll find a tree

As a cardinal, there to comfort me

Her song so sweet, to my own ear

My guardian angel, forever dear
