A Million Stars (string of Tanka)
The milky way glowed
With lights of a million stars
That shone from afar
I gazed with wonder awestrucked
At the magnificent sight
The twinkling stars smiled
Soothed my weary lonely heart
As I sat waiting
The night was lonesome and dark
And I was melancholic
Tears rolled down my face
Touched by loveliness
Of the starlit sky
Silhouettes of the trees loomed
Under the light of the stars
I thought of Van Gogh's
Painting of the starry night
And sang an old song
The "Vincent" by Don Mclean ...
With lights of a million stars
That shone from afar
I gazed with wonder awestrucked
At the magnificent sight
The twinkling stars smiled
Soothed my weary lonely heart
As I sat waiting
The night was lonesome and dark
And I was melancholic
Tears rolled down my face
Touched by loveliness
Of the starlit sky
Silhouettes of the trees loomed
Under the light of the stars
I thought of Van Gogh's
Painting of the starry night
And sang an old song
The "Vincent" by Don Mclean ...

Wishing For The Rain
The sky was ashen
Densed with gray clouds hovering
Ready to spill rain
I had hoped for a downpour
To feel the raindrops falling
But it never came
It was only a shower
Too little to soak
The flowers and leaves of trees
Too scanty to drench me wet
I felt like a child
Wishing for a heavy rain
To feel that magic
That sense of childlike delight
That only a rain can bring
I miss those moments
When rain was a source of joy
To my young spirit
When drops of rain felt so soft
On my skin...
Densed with gray clouds hovering
Ready to spill rain
I had hoped for a downpour
To feel the raindrops falling
But it never came
It was only a shower
Too little to soak
The flowers and leaves of trees
Too scanty to drench me wet
I felt like a child
Wishing for a heavy rain
To feel that magic
That sense of childlike delight
That only a rain can bring
I miss those moments
When rain was a source of joy
To my young spirit
When drops of rain felt so soft
On my skin...

Don’t
Don’t put me in the ground
Don’t put me on a shelf
Throw my ashes to the winds
Want to fly be free one last time
Don’t put me on a shelf
Throw my ashes to the winds
Want to fly be free one last time

A Clear And Warm Summer Night
A clear and warm summer night
Stars are out and bright tonight
Sparkling around the lonely moon
Crooning their galactic tune
They dance around the milky way
Golden sparks so far away
They come to sing and shine at night
When the moon loses her luminous light
Twinkling stars swimming in the sky
They hang like lanterns way up high
Faint lights flickering from afar
Fireglows from the distant stars
Stars are out and bright tonight
Sparkling around the lonely moon
Crooning their galactic tune
They dance around the milky way
Golden sparks so far away
They come to sing and shine at night
When the moon loses her luminous light
Twinkling stars swimming in the sky
They hang like lanterns way up high
Faint lights flickering from afar
Fireglows from the distant stars

Ocean Eyes
Her eyes are like the bluest skies, reflecting off the open ocean.
Her lips are like a blissful breeze, arousing all of my emotions.
Her touch, to me, so tantalizing, raises hairs upon my back.
Her taste is like no other; Of words I have a lack…

Dark skies
Dark skies
sunshine eyes
a suprise to my soul
as I take another stroll
slowly down the golden stream
of supernatural scenes circling this galactic machine..
In the groove
of funky crisp chord changes
"Is it any wonder?"
I'm far to deep in the stars.
Heavenly harmonies..
The laughter of the universe
Lingering in your lonesome heart
as your mind disperses through the dimensions of divine destinies directing you..
Dark skies
The sun sets in your eyes
A serene surprise..

Azure
The sky had clouds scattered throughout,
I see an exquisite trace of yellow
Where the sun was attempting to shine again
Luminous, pale, blue sky
The kind of sight you are privy to only when the worst of the storm has passed
When you think it too turbulent to fight
You hunker down and succumb to the wrath
No expectations of light in the distance
An eternity goes by
Winds, rain, hail go with it
Peaking through the curtains
Drawn to the window by blind faith
Raising my gaze up to the universe
Safety,...

My Peers Leer, Shearingly.
6 leather feather darts
your fork with last night in the tines
stuck with 9 lights in the mind
Stay home and fold
A surplus hand
Full house of cardstock time

stuck with 9 lights in the mind

A Silhouette Under The Sky
When the moon is gone
And sky is bereft of stars
The night becomes dark
A black velvet veils
The beauty of the night's face
Covering her shape
Night hides in shadows
A silhouette under the sky
Without the moonlight
It's the moon goddess
Who lends beauty to the night
And takes it away
Night borrows her charm
From the lights of moon and stars
To adorn her face
She hides in darkness
On moonless and starless night
Afraid to be seen
And sky is bereft of stars
The night becomes dark
A black velvet veils
The beauty of the night's face
Covering her shape
Night hides in shadows
A silhouette under the sky
Without the moonlight
It's the moon goddess
Who lends beauty to the night
And takes it away
Night borrows her charm
From the lights of moon and stars
To adorn her face
She hides in darkness
On moonless and starless night
Afraid to be seen

When the Evening Finds Its Voice
After a long and blessed day
When the sun starts to lay down
And mommas are calling their children in
Children who have been playing
Hard outside all afternoon
Children who are resisting the call
Begging for a little more time
This is the part of the day
Before darkness takes all the color away
When the evening finds its voice
The birds become most active
Scurrying around
Darting here and there
Chirping as the go
And the pond frogs
All arrive for vespers
To sing their evening song
To the...

A Grey Morning
When I woke up today, the morning looked grey, it felt grey without the brilliant beams of sunlight that greeted my eyes everyday. The ground was wet from the rain last night. It wasn't a heavy rain, but enough to soak the earth, and bathe the trees after many days without rain. The trees looked fresh, their leaves vibrantly green in the grey morning after their shower. Traces of rainwater still clung to the leaves. The air was cool last night, unlike the previous nights were the air was humid from the heat during the day. The moon was veiled by dark clouds when I look at the sky last night....
