Moonlight moves across the shadows of love born beneath the trees.
Two shadows emerge as one...a poem by Harlon Rivers
Two shadows emerge as one...a poem by Harlon Rivers
Wandering silently
though the wilderness woods,
far and away from the potholes
of well beaten pathways
The soft breeze slowly moves
the shadows of the moonlit night
past the thorny stems of time.
Wildlife paths illuminated by starlight
adorn the alluring wooded trail
Secluded pathways foraged by natural instinct,
Ancestral prudence and intuition
Each shadow drawn willingly
into a deeper enlightening journey
As if synchronicity united hearts
learning to speak minds
The depths of undaunting transparency
are rendezvous with awakening breath
Looking back at life withdrawn in discontent
Exhaling newly found freedom without regret
Lost in perpetual motion, found in heart
Separate souls illuminated by the moon
stood alone yearning for healing connection
Ardor of hope shines an inward light
as moonlight passionately slumbers
The night has a thousand eyes
Shining on practical mysticism
The laughing owls of midnight
Echo illusions of crystal clear reverie
Moved by swirling tempest breezes
showering down from high endeavors
Wisps of the sleeping sky unfurl
teardrops drunk by earth’s sod
Nocturnal Cricket’s rhythmus acoustical wings
are very quietly chirping a bashful courting song
Laughter rings out blissfully
like the joy of a heavenly child
Nature sways with gentle motion
Her leafy arms groan and moan the silent toil
She holds up the weight of the celestial light
Moonlight moves across the shadows
of love born beneath the trees.
Two shadows emerge as one
from the wilderness of sleep
Reborn as naked children
enlightened by the enchanting forest...
