Moon-Shadow

The islands are singing,

Palawan seas' glittering fingers laps the shore,

blue glow reflection of a liquid heaven

and the great white waxing

so close to this moon

Here, newly just arrived,

my first night welcomed by dancing palms,

bird songs, and rivulets of waves' clapping hands

as though saying "I know you"

toes in the sand

Still it is new again,

as the sylphs of Gaia whispers

siroccos to the distance of metropolis

sin city industry now an effervescent kiss

my goose flesh embracing the breezy

whims of twilight Eden

The islands sing memory

as I sit in the solace of my moon shadow

where once a boy hoped

with every stone skipped on the surface

of every morning wave,

and now much grown, yet still as uncertain,

this time save

for the wishes

Ride instead the caress of familiar

sounds and the brine of cooler mists

it is as if embracing a hug,

"I know you" I whisper to the onyx

and the sheen .

The beach and Moon shadow

as the starlight and tropic islands

continue to sing

beautifully recalling

as I reacquaint with my beginning

and furthered being

while the wild  is caterwauling.

As one with which I am

at home,

rediscovery of that love

ever more

picturesque

the Philippine twilight glow

romancing acres of fresh.

Meet my city Joe-Shmoe

old island boy

for you and I both are

black and yellow-gold:

Moon shadow

Moon shadow.

A mystifying poem that entices the reader to get lost in between the lines and rest in the shadows of the palms, be strongly pulled by the alluring water whispers, and of course - the moon :)

Thank you for reviewing, and sorry for belated response. Light and dark and everything within and without, what's there to be afraid of, its all beautiful ... last summer's visitation ... thank you again/

"tropic islands
continue to sing
beautifully a memory
as reacquaint with my beginning
and furthered being"

Beautiful depiction of the tropics and their magic. Philippines is proud tonight...Bravo.....

Thank you, I tried to be as heart felt and honest, recalling real moments, floating by the mere inspiration of it, hoping that it reads true for those who look thru (the frame of this here snap shot). Thanks again for your review.
