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.

Nobody Like You


Nobody like you, lady
Nobody I ever knew
You were outrageous in every way
But your every way was true.

You were a queen
And we all knew it
Your life had it's obstacles
But you always got through it.

The mountains were steep
But you climbed to the top
Stumbling sometimes
But you never would stop.

You had your little family
And boy, could you fuss
Your house was seldom empty
'Cause you had all of us.

You stood out in a crowd
You were a gem and a pearl
You were a glamorous, generous
Glitzy, good country girl.

Your home was a church
Always open to all
And they knew you would come
When you heard their call.

You were one mighty warrior girl
Fighting devil and wraith
With your shield and God's Word
Never losing your faith.

Now you're walking in Heaven
With your robe and your crown
No more worries and woes
On that high holy ground.

Marion....minister, mother and wife
And a friend that ever was true
There was nobody that I ever met
Nobody, nobody, lady, like you.

Some People Can't

 










Some People Can't


Some people just can't be helped

That's what the old folks say

My mistake was wanting so

To help you find your way.


But like most narcissists that I've met

You put me on a shelf

'Cause you figured out I would never love you

As much as you loved yourself.


And with that fact, you could not deal

For you cannot deal with much

No tough love would you tolerate

But only a tender touch.


Your floors were made of eggshells

On which you made me walk

And only about your perfect image

Was I allowed to talk.


I wonder how many hearts you broke

How many lives, destroyed

You learned as a youth how to play the game

And all your tricks deployed.


Those tiny moments when it was good

And I thought it would work out

Were dashed to bits when you had your fits

(And I never knew what about.)


I sighed, you cried

I cried, you'd scream

Making such nightmares

Out of every dream.


I was damned if I didn't

I was damned if I did

You physically grew up

But stayed a perpetual kid.


The Bible says....

(Now hear me out)

Don't let your praises

Issue from your own mouth.


But you boast, you brag

You embellished, you lied

Your soul selfish and empty

But so full of pride.


You have no humility

No greatness or grace

And you wouldn't know God

If you met face to face.


Yet everything you say

And everything you write

Declares of all human beings

You're the only one "right."


I'm sure you'll go into a rage

And we both know it's true

You'll hate what's written on this page

But thrilled it's about you.


You build yourself up constantly

By tearing others down

You're only happy when you see

Them groveling on the ground.


And yet, and yet, you need them ever

To flatter your vacant shell

Demand of them all the heaven they have

So you can turn it into hell.


You will share no stage or spotlight

You must be the only star

You never make amends to your wounded friends

Now you wonder where they are.


How sad to be you

So alone and bereft

But the damage done to you

You did to yourself.


You imagine an insult

When there is no insult given

You hold grudges about nothing

In that box you call living.


I tried to help you

For I perceived your need

But my love was just supply

For your vampiric greed.


And I was left broken

And drained of my will

As you left me in search

Of your next oblivious kill.


I guess I finally understand

That it's always been this way

There are two kinds of people here:

The predator and prey.


But I won't let myself be used

Now that I've had my say

Even though my heart is torn in two

I pray you find your way.

an observation of all the many, many

narcissistic people, male and female,

that I have known and tried to help

by showing them loving kindness

but was almost destroyed in the process.

Only God knows what made them that

way and what spirit they are of.  I truly 

hope they all get set free someday.
