A Poem by Chris Shaw

soon
.
my gypsy soul
will wander aimlessly
in unpolluted night sky
rinsed with moonlight
.
in a sea of spangled stars
an allure of sequins
will beckon me far away
from river bank moorings
.
grown wild with willow herb
as gentle rippled water
lap lap laps or a tap tap tap
of beaks on bold blue steel
.
supper for swans
don't forget the bread before bed
until then my head will tilt
towards the heavens
.
eyes challenged by distance
switched on like spotlights
searching ...
searching for you

dearest Chris... this is my favorite of yours... now that time has given me pause... I realize that the Sea has secrets to share with the Stars. Your poem is perfect for Memorial Day weekend here in the States as Flags are about to Pray for the World and a peaceful blending of celestial thoughts. Wishing you the dreams of Sky Rockets bursting in Air... our Flag is still there. gently, Pat

The imagery here is delightful. I love the picture you paint of an unpolluted night sky that has been ‘rinsed by moonlight’. I can almost imagine this piece as a bridge between the natural world and something beyond.Filled to the brim with emotional undertones. Nicely done.

I agree dear Chris. A part of us forever. You are welcome.
"my gypsy soul..." another magnificence from your golden magical ink. something different, special, beyond this world... something I can feel and relate too. there is no death, only transformation, and even when we are not dead yet, we can experience this when we have the higher consciousness and soul. I dearly love this... and as You are searching for him, so he does dear Chris. and love will find the way and bring You both together to meet in that higher realm. fabulous.
