The Wind

I saw you at the window

For a moment flashing by

As you swept across the night sky

On your way to meet the moon

As you rode your hair shown silver

And your cloak flew wild behind,

Your horse was dark as midnight

As it galloped neath the gloom,

And on toward the sunrise

Without waiting for reply

From the messenger sent to you

With a golden yellow star

You traveled on till daybreak

I lost you in the sun

Now I must wait till eventide

To signal you to come

And meet your fellow traveler

Who rides from age to age

And wishes to accompany you

On Faerie escapades.

Full Moon Rising

Full moon rising

Right in sight

Through the wispy clouds and fog

Speaks to owls

And bats in flight

Of the wisdom of the night

Full moon wisdom

Light in sight

Through the visions of the dream

Speaks to me

Of truth's delight

On my journey in the night

Faerie's Dance

Slowly, softly, tiptoe now

Through the grasses tall and blowing,

Whispering to call you, now

Careful to watch where you're going.

As in silence you draw near,

In the clearing's moonlight glowing,

Tiny moonbeams shimmer where

The aged willow tree is bowing.

There as soon as you appear,

You see beside the river flowing,

Faeries dance, then disappear

Quickly, lest you spy their going.

Just as soon they reappear,

Laughter twinkling, eyes full knowing

Of the game they love to play

When a stranger comes unknowing,

To their circle, night or day

A mystery's delight in showing,

Just enough to spin one's head.

Until they tire of games of ploying,

And slowly slip then off to bed.

Ah, My Dove, My Beautiful One

Ah, my dove, my beautiful one

Come let us dine on mangos and apricots

Let the cool evening breezes

Lift the hope of our spirits

As we laugh in bright colors

Of cerise and turquoise

Let us stroll by green oceans

Of bright phosphorescence

That sparkle like fireflies

On wavelets of starlight

Let the wet sandy beaches

Beg us stay in our footprints

Till the wash of the neap tide

Hides the trace of our path

Ah, my dove, my beautiful one

Let us wander in unison

Speaking in rhythms timed

In tune with our heartbeats...

Let us listen intently to the

Song of the desert

With it's sky never-ending

And it's stone memories

Let us dance in the moonlight

To the melody playing on the

Harp of the crickets and then...

Fill ourselves full of the

Essence of daybreak when the

Pink dawn of summer swells the

Air with it's breath

Then we'll lie down together on

A bed of green grasses by a stream

Of cool water in a land of our dreams

Ah, my dove, my beautiful one

Come let me love you

As you love me intensely

And we'll pledge with our truth

To be one in our sighs
