I rose from my slumber,
The dawn was nearly with me.
I drew back the curtains,
Looked out at my world,
And there looking at me
Was the wonder of the moon.
The clear, bright, full moon
Shining its glory on me,
Showing me the light,
The light that was to come.
I knew,
I knew that today would be good,
Today would be wonderful,
As the light of the moon,
Shone its protection over me.

I heard him on Radio Three yesterday morning and thought how good he was so being a member of Amazon Prime music I found his albums on there and listened to one last evening.
A good write Gold.

Hello Goldfinch60,
A great poem on the wonders of life and its joy to behold.
Keep writing FineB
Thank you FineB, life IS wonderfulk.
ECM recording label has a certain feel to all its productions, unique clarity. Their jazz catalogue is well worth browsing... you tube has many if u just enter ECM in search there.
Sight of the beautiful moon is a refresher. Another of the natural delights which can bring ones own existence into perspective - a mind balancer perhaps.
