Fly Low

Evolution of a poem.

1 Fly Low

Just Clear
the Mountains
Below us
Earth Rises
and falls
Sliding Silently
The Moon
Casting Silver
Night Shadows


2 Fly Low

Just clear
of the mountains below us,
Earth rises and falls.
Sliding Silently,
the moon casts silver shadows.
Shadows that clad the life below.


3 Fly Low

Just clear of the mountains below,
Earth rises and falls.
Passing over the mountains of past,
Earth rises and falls.
Moon casts out silver shadows as
Earth rises and falls.
Shadows that clad the life below.

4 Fly Low

Now fly down low
clear the mount'n's below
Rising and falling
Pass just under clouds
that march east in crowds
Rising and falling
Ringed twice in halos
a round Moon follows
Rising and falling
Casting silver shadow
cladding life below
