IN THE SHADOWS OF A PALE MOON

IN THE SHADOWS OF A PALE MOON Look at me closely 
See the traces of my mortality Touch my face Close your eyes Feel what lies deep inside Humanity is done with me Time has had its way Fading slowly day by day So far I've come
All too  soon Sunlight sighs in its fall
AsI slip  softly into  dreamsAnother’s name I callMystery of MysteriesEternal SilenceStarless InfinityI linger quietlyIn the shadows of a pale moon

Very nice, Longo! We endure,

Very nice, Longo! We endure, day by day and let every experiance etch itself someplace upon us! wheather our face or soul. Those experiances make us who we are. One reason i really like this, is cause of that invitation to see that. Who we really are. Also, seems there is a rejuvination of sorts, when we are allowed to close our eyes, absorb the day in dreams and rest. lol (I love a good afternoon nap too) shut the door on the outside world, if only for a bit, to recenter. words, always food for thought! Always sincere, Tonya

Thank you, Tonya

J.B. Longo-Geremia It is all part of living: enjoying the good times and enduring the bad ones, yes? But who we each are is the sum total of our own life experience added to our shared humanity. Joe
