Moonlight Dreams Moonlight dreams The moon pours rich, it's silvered glow Upon yon sylvan hills. Whence forth the bawdy cricket's row Serenading fervent trills. Thus forward into bed, I head To part with mindless cares. To sleep, nay dream!, instead Of kisses sweet and fair. Or merry flights across treetops And dancing with the winds. Of wondrous slides that ne'er do stop And pillowed landing ends. Remember I, when all is still, Delicious fancies o' the night. Memories loved, exalted thrills In wandered sleep, take flight. So lay me down in slumbered rest No more the day's encumbrance bear To suckle my delusion's breast And feast upon this moonlit fare. -Aeglyn 2012

Growing Pains There is no comfort in our growth When feeling cruel progressions They often yield sorrows that Leave lifelong lasting impressions There is no growth in our comfort Where lies abound in soothing thought Banal efforts die a feckless death While culling pearls is seldom sought Adversity and consequence Tenderizes obstinate hearts These overwhelming challenges Provides a wisdom to impart Bittersweet experiences Will teach us lessons if we heed The positive or negative Essential attitudes we feed Aeglyn Sept'2022

Tin Man What have I to offer thee? I have nothing more than me No riches nor am I well known A quiet mien is all I own A gentle heart is what I bare In solitude it’s all I wear Peaceable in all my days Parsing life’s fickle ways And what have I to do with thee? Whose very nature captures me? Snared by sweet and smiling glances Whose fair and comely eye entrances Would that I could be more brave Like some impudent knave And win anon the moment’s pause Despite all my lacking flaws To speak with undaunted pitch And break this lasting tongue-tied stitch To dream of daring chosen words And risk expressing hopeful chords But, tell this idle time goodbye Dreaming of a life gone by And of a chance I once let slide Rusting from the rain inside.

A starry light drapes Him at night A perfect babe so blessed with life Came to earth to make all right To save a dying world from strife Born in humble poverty Raised in spirit strong and true Full of grace and authority And from His Father, knowledge grew Finally, His mission came To pave the road in flawless stride His Father’s will He would proclaim To meekly teach and be our guide The path He walked, the way of light Just like that shining star at birth Was meant to lift our hearts and sight As His atonement proved His worth So now it is up to us To follow where He placed His feet Fulfilling ev’ry need and thus We’ll find Him at the mercy seat Who once came down, an infant boy Whom angels of creation know Shining there in perfect joy The Christ of Light in swaddling clothes Aeglyn Dec 2020

I sit enthralled as sunset dies The rosy reds of auburn skies The light washed out in rainbow hues Drapes me in twilight’s dusty muse I think of her most oft of late Of simple ways and subtle traits A knowing touch, and eyes so calm Her caring heart a healing balm I ponder all in heaven’s name How is my life to be the same? As nighttime draws I’ve lost that glow Now left in dark as feelings go A tear wells up in sullen thought How we began, now come to naught In this life only are we done? Can we in glory still be one? I think upon that very dream While in the moonlight’s shining beam As stars come out, the skies are bright A hope within me starts tonight. Aeglyn August 2020

The Plan At last, it was time to be born To willingly pass through unknown I was there, with you, that first morn Vowed never to leave you alone We parted and you left in trust Of the plan we all had agreed Formed of spirit, water, and dust With a pledge, my voice you would heed Others were forced down to earth Not willing to listen to love A third who would never be birthed In Heaven rebelling above Shadowed by a charming deceit A son of the morning who fell Embracing a massive conceit To drag all to a mis’rable hell Then into this world you will live But absent your previous fief To make your own choices, I give To face opposition with grief I promised to help you along Be with you through all of your trials Ceaselessly forgiving your wrongs Embracing all heaven’s exiles Eventually I will come down And free all the prisoner’s caught Lifted up, I will certainly crown All children my voice who have sought So brief was my visit on earth I came down to satisfy laws To show you all traits of high worth And enlist you in heavn’ly cause I give you a higher path option If you will conceive to believe And treat each other with caution All children of Adam and Eve One day, when life will have ended Return and report of your deeds Judgement will then be extended Based on the fruit of your seeds I will embrace all the willing Who chose to do good the long day To life everlasting fulfilling The promise to those who obey Aeglyn May 2020

His heartfelt blessings full of love A promised hope of calm and peace To all honest seekers thereof In prayers and tears that never cease I say, my brothers, sisters all Who, in goodness, still hold trust But question why they still feel small And deem are lower than the dust This meekness draws the eyes of God Who loves you more than you will know It’s humility He applauds Your willingness to let it show He answers every tear that falls With care towards your broken fate He guides you up above the walls And lifts you to a higher state Always there, He anxiously awaits A Parent watching you in stride For any chance to show His traits And lead you Home where He abides Oh then look up and never doubt About the love He has for you Pre-destined for a greater route In your heart of hearts, believe it’s true.

Oh whither did you go, my son? With eyes so bright and blue A happy spirit sent to us That bound our hearts to you. Oh fierce, the pain and emptiness That misses hugs and smiles You freely gave us love so pure It hurt to see your trials. It grieves my heart unto this day I think of you so oft I know you're placed in Father's care In Heaven's, wondrous loft. So cry, do I, these endless tears Of saddened, painful loss, But one day we shall meet again Our paths are sure to cross. And on that day, beloved son, Exquisite joy will swell And fill our hearts with loving bliss In clouds where loved ones dwell. Be my little boy again, Laugh those joyful sounds Walk hand in hand with me, my son Where happy knows no bounds. -Aeglyn 2012

How heavy My heart is Missing you These long, cold Lonesome days Sunsets flow Endlessly Into one Bittersweet Elegy Cursed with love Lingering, Patiently Suffering Memories My lamp primed The wick dressed Hope reflects Eyes of light In darkness Aeglyn Mar’2019

So blessed am I No idea why But grateful in my prayers My heart is full And feels the pull Of someone list’ning there On bended knee I pray to see Who tends my every care? And while I sought The spirit wrought A sweet and loving air That by this glow He let me know Of me, He is aware He loves purely Very surely This child so full of tares Aeglyn Dec 2018
