a hopeful glance of future held his dream
though silhouette-horizon shaped no sense
as ruby ripples flickered on the stream

there,in hypnotic trance,he sought the truth
of necessary thoughts that paved his past
as grey-blue clouds of faith traversed the orb
he caught the net of knowledge that she cast

with hands held high,he showered in her glow
expectant of the answers to his fears
but as he turned his eyes displayed his grief
she'd bathed him callously in scarlet tears

though teasing torment crushed his sense of who
from that bleak night there came a higher cry
as blood-red hue dispersed to morning gold
within,he understood the reasons why [comments] => 2 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 43 [informant] => bushkeeper [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

the barefoot orphan sought the scarlet moon
