Moonlight
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
And in memories of the sun.
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
As the crickets chirped and sung.
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
In a night so serene.
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
Oh what a lovely scene!
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
With images of the past.
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
With my heart atop the mast.
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
Oh how my heart did sing!
Tonight I bathed in moonlight
I shan’t forget a thing!
Moonfire's poems

Cardinal
Upon its branch on high, with hues of fire and blood
A lone cardinal stands perched above the world.
With a blackened ring about its face, it sees beyond
Lies that groundlings see in their veil of worldly things.
Wind rustles in the verdant leaves of lush truth
And takes flight into that clarity of fragrant seas.
Blossoming with shades of lily and rose, it soars
Into the inferno of the sun, wreathed in dark clouds.
Clouds of stormy times with salty brine upon thine eyes.
The cardinal has harshness in its gaze and wavers.
How can one fly straight and true after inflicted blindness?
Upon its branch on high, with hues of fire and blood
A lone cardinal stands perched above the world.
With a blackened ring about its face, it sees beyond
Lies that groundlings see in their veil of worldly things.
Wind rustles in the verdant leaves of lush truth
And takes flight into that clarity of fragrant seas.
Blossoming with shades of lily and rose, it soars
Into the inferno of the sun, wreathed in dark clouds.
Clouds of stormy times with salty brine upon thine eyes.
The cardinal has harshness in its gaze and wavers.
How can one fly straight and true after inflicted blindness?
