Burning ever brightly in the shade
Burning ever brightly in the shade
Burning ever brightly in the shade
Burning ever brightly

Burning ever brightly

As I gaze out at the incandescent moon
Amazed at the bouquet of its crescent silhouette
Draped across the dunes like a swooning marionette
Gracefully apace amidst a maze of pirouette
I ponder how much longer I can wander into yonder
Prolong the one tradition seen to lean to intuition ever present in my dreams when gone too soon
Ever present in my dreams when gone too soon
.
The incandescent moon is strewn through each lagoon my eyes consume
Its rich perfume a heady brew of meadow rue in petit bleu
Fireflies in ready queue to drop beneath venetian blinds
Beat the rush for morning dew and pore into the fleshy fruit with promptitude before first prompt of daylight
.
Beat the rush
Beat the rush
Beat the rush for morning dew and pore into
Pore into
Pore into
Pore into the fleshy fruit with promptitude before first prompt of daylight

Wept of lilies spilled as gift of boundless esteem
Shifting shapes at will to thrill the wake of the stream
Changing pace midst trill of nature famed at its peak
While the waning faith of angels bids redeem

Knights in white satin
As vital as Latin
Seraphic pericardium – ad infinitum
Practised
Adaptive to abstraction
Systematic in expansion
Gushing courage
Grace and flourish
Fluttering with fashion
.
The moon delights in pompous flight
Midst winds that clamour flawless night
Silent stammer spotless white
Grammar lost in solemn rite
This view not an uncommon sight
For herein it believes the puzzle lies
.
Will not see the buds arise
For all it sees is polarised
Through jaded eyes the summer dies
The moment sun vacates the skies
Snowblind to the reason it confides upon the earth
Devising ways to lessen our admiring gaze impress upon our blindest faith to bind us to the very skin we pine within in tidal waves of suffering encouraging the dearth

Meanwhile the sun picks its spot to parade
It is going to be a liberating day
Brimming its fulfilling light while all those less inclined lounge in the shade
Burning ever brightly either way
Burning ever brightly either way
Burning ever brightly either way
Burning ever brightly either way
Burning ever brightly
Burning ever brightly
Burning ever brightly either way
Burning ever brightly
Burning ever brightly
Burning ever brightly either way
