IN THE MOONLIGHT DEEP

The Visitors by Jana Mashonee 

the song that inspired the write..........

In The Moonlight Deep

I'm dancing in the moonlight deep

I'm dancing in the sun

I'm dancing in the mountain keep

That holds no heart but one.

Like echoes from another time

I sing my songs of joy

And hunt for treasures with the tools

My heart finds to employ.

The eagle watches silently

The deer observes my dance

The brown wren seeks to settle near

But doesn't take the chance.

I bathe in waters crystal clear

And purify my self

Lie in the smoke of sweet grass scent

Till there is nothing left.

I speak the words of holy men

I pray my fathers' chants

I see the visions Spirit sends

When I stand up and dance.

And I'm dancing at the rainbow's end

I'm dancing in the streams

I'm dancing on the tall green hills,

In the valleys of my dreams.

Like Turtle crawls in perseverance

And Wolf howls in the night

I laugh at Trickster's fun and games

And keep out of his sight.

And on I go through falling rain,

In morning's sparkling dew

Into the haunted realms of men

Until I find you.

(If you are Shadow,

I am Light

But I crave you

Like Day craves Night.

In Warrior Dance

And ancient tongue

I'll dance to arms

Where I belong.)

An empty heart compels me go

Though I keep it hidden well

And feet of longing carry me

To the place no man can tell.

And I'm dancing in the twilight blue

I'm dancing in the sky

I'll dance until the vow is kept

Upon the day I die.

I'm dancing in the midnight dark

I'm dancing in the embers

Of a fire that burned so long ago

Not a living soul remembers.

But I recall it when I dance

And all the secrets keep

To give back to the One Who Waits

There in the moonlight deep.

TUMBLING DOWN

this music inspired the poem!!!

Tumbling Down

Tumbling down

Into the midnight's glow

You taught my body

Things it did not know.

We kissed until our lips

Grew tired and numb

And smiled out loud

And wondered what we'd done.

In blankets warm

And fireplace paradise

We held onto each other

With our eyes.

And fingers clasped

And arms and legs entwined

We drowned in new love's bliss

Like vintage wine.

As winter wind sang softly

Round the trees

We hummed along

Like starving honey bees.

And all the while

The snow piled up outside

And true love found

It had no place to hide.

We laughed and loved

Till night became tomorrow

And joy replaced our long-held-onto

Sorrow.

Tumbling down

In bed of rumpled sheets

We found the hidden void

Where wholeness meets.

And wrapped ourselves

In warmth that thwarts the cold

Two lonely broken hearts

Became one soul.

THERE'S NOTHING

There's Nothing



There's nothing as wonderful
As a smile on the face
Of someone who loves you

Nothing as glorious
As love shining in the eyes
Of someone who loves you

There's nothing as delicious
As the loving that lives in the passion
Of someone who loves you

Nothing as inspiring
As the joy that lifts up in the praise
Of someone who loves you

Nothing so dark
As the spark that goes out in the heart
Of someone who loves you

There's nothing as low
As the grief that you'll know in the loss
Of someone who loves you

When every full room
Becomes full of the gloom when it's emptied
Of someone who loved you.
