Moon-dark shadows

   
Earlier poem (2013)rewritten and expanded.  
   
   
Are these dreams or memories    
times far away, of yesterday ?    
dreams  of tomorrow    
filling waking hours.    
Lamp lit streets snickets    
lanes, moon-dark shadows.    
conspiring myths    
beneath a Gothic sky.    
   
Dreams are for tomorrow    
yesterday is far away, memories    
paced by the ticking clock    
without time to remember    
lamp-lit streets and snickets    
fade into  moon dark shadows    
myths,memories, dreams    
unite to the glories I have lived    
they conspire,joining with me    
beneath the Gothic sky,    
arched above me these many years    
storm and tempest held at bay    
with but the echoes to disturb.
