Shadow in the Night

Hidden deep, the mystery lies
Lost in the shadow of night
Beneath the wisp of branches
That sway in the full moon bright

A silent swoop of mighty wings
The raptor on a darkened chase
Sating an ever claiming hunger
He’s eclipsed by this woodland place

A flicker of flight against ebony sky
Undetected in the blackened night
The predator with his conquered stash
Disappears with the morning light

I’ve started so many poems
Some still lost inside my head
Of silver birds and broken hearts
And snoring in my bed

At times it’s hard to get the words
To come alive on paper
They disappear much too fast
It all becomes a vapor

So I go back and start again
And try with all my might
To make some sense
Of what it is
That I’m about to write

The journey of a soul
Is but a glint
Of bursting sunlight
Glimmering, through
An open window

Shrouded by
Darkness, dank and gloomy
Lurking in the shadows
Raising questions
Casting doubt
Second guessing

The flutter of the wind
Through the naked pane
Draws it back, wondering if
Perhaps a simple gust
Of a summers breeze
Will brush it all away

Allowing for the reflection
Of the innermost
Transcendent thoughts
A juncture in life
The now
and the destined…

I play my flute
A song so sweet
As you fly
And settle round me
Down below
Wings aglow
Where nothing else
Has found me

I play my flute
Upon this rock
My dragons
I play for thee
While water slow
From walls does flow
Your fiery hearts
Surround me

And she sits quietly in the distance

As she paints the skies

A palette of reds and yellows

Against the blue ocean waters

Gently rippling below her

And she glows ever so brightly

Before tucking herself in

For the night
