Shadow




i search the wide room 
under table, white closets
i could not find you

opening window 
twigs sway hearing evening's call 
a lone shadow leaps 

full pale moon in arms 
dancing red shoes on brown feet   
twirling out of sight

goodbye, full circle
we have come, until I see 
not a trace of you

    Lyrical and deep. The full moon always brings up
    my emotions, yet I hate to see it go...and love
    the return.

    It can be hurting when it does happen. The moon offers the solace!

    Devil Moon in dancing red shoes is not to be trusted.
    A revelation is in the offing for sure.
