Watching The Sun [Acrostic]

A slightly different acrostic, normally the title carries the root of the poem.  In this version the title is a descriptive framework and the acrostic is a set of three related words.

Watching The Sun  -  20 Sep 16

Reflecting the fires of dawn

In my skies and across my mind

Stars are a slowly fading memory

Endlessly scintillating dreams

Muse weaves the words

Into new worlds to be sung

Day bathes the new worlds

Dance in the magical ring

Around the pipers mystic songs

Yielding to the power of noon

Slow drift into the purple

Eventide filled with waiting dreams

Tonight sweetly calls

I feel that it makes an interesting variation on the usual format.

Day Dance

This is another of the things which suddenly grow but for the first time it grew into an actual song to which I may attempt to add some music at some point - in the meantime I present the lyrics.




Day Dance - 05 Mar 11

We walked along the sand
Hand in hand
Footprints leaving little pools
Slowly filling with the memories
Of our passing...

[Chorus]
You shared the dawn
With me
We took the afternoon
Into our hearts
The evening flames
In the fireplace
Warmed us
Promised us
A new day for our journey

The gentle waves of today
Sound in our thoughts
Like the songs
We sang in the dawn
Rainbow sky
Aurora shine
Morning

[Chorus]

Watching birds
Dancing on the ocean
Dancing with our thoughts
Playing
Afternoon games
Slipping slowly into the west
Carrying our words
To illuminate the sky

[Chorus]

And when the day closes
Eventide mysteries
Together we watch the flames
Dance around the logs
Starlit patterns
Shining bright
Dreams catch them
Burn bright to show a new path
Into a new day

[Chorus]





This feels good to me, what do you think?
