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

I write in a genre

Oft misunderstood

I’ve tried to explain it

The best that I could

These aren’t just words

That float in my head

They are my soul

Releasing instead

The passion inside me

Pounding deep in my heart

I am a writer, a poet

And my words I impart

On all who will listen

This is my true devotion

Flowing out from within

Like my endless emotion

It’s 3AM and I’m still awake

I walk to the window and pull back the drape

And stare at a moonless starlit sky

And wonder aloud, why is it I

Cannot find the sleep I so desperately crave

These thoughts overtake me, to a point where I cave

And slink back to my desk like a cat on the prowl

After all, it is why I am called the Night Owl

A door unopened, here remains
Through sharpest winds and icy rains

Where it leads, I do not know
Perhaps it’s only here for show

But what is that, a creature there?
Who looks completely unaware

Nary a movement does he make
I don’t think that he’s awake!!

I’ll walk ever quietly, to the door
This one I’ve never been before

Slowly, so he does not rouse
Toward the door, just let him drowse

Pray, the hinges will not creak
When I open the portal to take a peek

 

This gate was in the middle of nowhere on a nature trail. The little creature is actually the root system from a fallen tree!!

Sitting under that big old tree
Reminiscing about younger days
Thinking back on how we were
How the time has slipped away

Remembering the past
How we held it oh so close
Laughter, love and memories
Was what we cherished most

Sunlight shines upon us now
With a warm and tender glow
Calling us to journey forth
We have so far to go

Yes! Change of plan, change of pace
We’ll relish the time ahead
We shall never forget who we were
But remember who we are, instead
