playful the creatures that dance through the night
carried by angels whose calls them invite
through starry gates at the heart of the moon
freely renouncing the earthly paths strewn
with obstacles blinding the visions that flow
richly through silver rays while they echo
in the free spirits that relish the truth
lost… in those moments past youth

Beautiful Shadow. Blessings.
This is very nice, i feel like walking in the moonlight tonight and i will think of this poem.
Thanks, Secretia
in these moments past youth...you mean i got to move passed this?
OH That past youth...
This is so beautiful dear!
I can see you dancing and I am right there with you! Free spirits. That is not lost.
That first line has a riveting rhythm, Shadow. It leads us into the poem like a galloping horse.
no words , no words at all for this poem .....
thank you Shadow .... let the angels let you ... us ....
I love the imagery your words inspire, Shadow!
That is one mighty fine beat you're drumming Shadow!
Makes it easy for people who would otherwise lag
to keep the pace
Let's meet under the moon and dance and laugh with love unstrewn...you always inspire me and you always make me understand the world and the world around me deeper.
Thank you
Wow! That was so amazing.
beautiful
When I read your words--in my usual tranced state--I'm transported to places I've never been, but hope to one day experience. Exciting!
You've created a conundrum, a playful transformation that both renounces earthly paths and relishes what is lost. Uh!
A lot going on that we don't see. Beautiful poem. Beautiful photo. The photo had me visiting the website you credited. I've never seen pictures so moving. Thanks.
so so beautiful :)

Dancing with Shadow is like Dancing with Angels.....
and a most beautiful picture, i can dance in that, thanks for inviting me..
Wonderful Shadow, in these moments past youth,,,,truly beautiful.
Shadow, I have been meaning to mention the change I have noted in your mood since I started reading your work. Love it! Missing a lot of the darkness of the first stuff I read, which I appreciated, but I am amazed at the transformation in your style. Hope it means life is as beautiful for you as you're writing.
Angels? Or faeries? And can we tell the difference?
always perfect and beautiful
thats what you are....

"playful" was what I loved about this... If only we could recapture those playful moments, and keep them alive forever...
Nevine
Which came first, the image or the verse? Both are up there with your very best - may even be your best.
Astonishing play of words with beautifully interwoven meanings. Loved it.
Like Nevine said, playful, and I love the photo inspiration.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Thanks so much. Enjoy your weekend!
I'm enjoying your work so very much. A have a break coming up soon and I'm planning to spend a great deal of it here!
this is beautiful, reminds me of childhood...
warm smiles,
They sound like waking dreams.
The ending is perfect!
"...in those moments past youth."
I believe this last little line says so much than the sum of it's parts.
A new definition for moonlight. A very nice one!
I sometimes miss youth but today was so nice that I think I'm okay with just where I am.
Refreshing lines- so different from 'slam' poetry which makes no sense!
Lovely! Keep it up1
And do comment on 'Sowing Time' on my blog1
