Tonight I found a home
Oh sweet memory …
Restless I walked to the coat rack and put my
hand on the dogs leash
Instantly he arises from slumber in a rush of energy
Then sliding open the door we stepped into
the edge of dusk
Looking aloft I realized again tonight a night of
a full July moon I think ………yes the blood moon
down our sleepy town streets the houses
retiring to slumber early
varying shades of blue
in darkened windows
Up the high plains road to the pastures of hay
I look aloft as the moon dances to the edge of wispy clouds
yet which one is moving the slowest
We come to the big draught horses on the lane
and think that they might spook
but no they amble slowly away
Off in the long flat meadows the mist rises and
like lanterns aglow the lightning bugs dance
though never again as thousands in my memory
Oh sweet memory
yet tonight I feel more at home than ever
There is no more magic in life than in a blood moon
an evening with my best friend
a dance with the clouds on the plains
and a mellow though lonely knowing than
tonight I found my home

Lovely work Ed, filled with harmonious phrasing and fine imagery. Question… second last line, should be ‘knowing that’? Cheers!
Oh how I love this beautiful verse, Ed. You describe it all so wonderfully I can see it when I close my eyes.
Very nicely penned.
