because you asked

my contribution to the moon and me phenomenon going on lately

Here I sit thinking of stars.

Thinking of you

under those other stars

Wanting to be up there

dancing

like the mortal moth.

 

The moon is bright.

The air is still.

Not damp. Not too cool.

Just clear.

With a sprinkling of stars.

 

Let's stand barefoot in dry grass

in an open field

under the stars.

Out where nobody can see

and watch the shadows fall.

Or maybe walk out in darkness

finding our halting way

fingers twined loosely

step by step.

 

There is the moon, though.

And I believe, somewhere,

the Creator

must be smiling.

I had a vision yesterday while my band was trying "Knocking on heaven 's door" for the first time...something about how some dude said jesus isn't home right now or something, so we smoked some heavenly pot, because it's the same as coffee up there...I was ridiculously tired, but I saw some interesting things in that vision. So yeah, "mortal moth"...reminded me of that a bit. (-;

that's "one" interpretation "of many"...I will say I missed chinese new year due to extenuating circumstances...then I realized it's a centennial and even a baby can be a shaman

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

not sure what it is you think I think, but it's def one interpretation of many either way

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

in the garden of eden, the serpent, underground, chinese new year, year of the snake...I thought I was being pretty metaphorically straight forward, lol

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

e pluribus unum alluding to the centennial anniversary where the dollar is no longer backed by gold and silver

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

You mean Joshua?...although most of the good shamans DO live in the Mexico area

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

I guess, perhaps

[Emily B]

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

idk?

[Strife]

This was very nice. I loved how it just...I dunno, set the mood or something. Very beautiful.

Oh this is beautifully written Emily, It makes me feel as though I am swinging on one of those stars, there is a subtle touch of romance in your words, very nice indeed.

Or can it be the other way around,
He would indeed be smiling!
This is so nicely set, and so very wonderful to read
Such an excellent piece!!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I hear you on this one... their is definatly a higher power cause without it such things as the moons power and the stars guidance couldn't exist... beautifully answered.

U go Ema.
Nice and smooth. I really like this work. It soothes. Almost like a lull-a-by recited by moonlight.

[Katy Otto]

Almost mysterious, and cryptic.
I really like how discriptive it is,
and how your words flow perfectly.
