edit#3.2 (Todd, Mark101)

A moonbeam's trail unwinds downhill
and threads its way through wooden blinds
to dance upon my windowsill.

Fine-filtered through a moonshine still
a glittered path of gold designs
a moonbeam's trail unwound downhill;
light focuses enough to fill
the room, its broken stream aligns
to two-step on my windowsill.

Night owl's hoot and barn wren's trill
meet in the air, their song entwines
with moonbeam trails that wind downhill
as darkness bursts the stars until
they spill like spiraled orange rinds
and skip across my windowsill.

White swan's reflective wings and bill
go gliding by, its path defines
a moonbeam's trail that winds downhill
to dance upon my windowsill.

A moonbeam's trail unwinds downhill
and threads its way through wooden blinds
to dance upon my windowsill.

Fermented through a moonshine still
a glittered path of gold designs
a moonbeam's trail unwound downhill;
light focuses enough to fill
the room, its broken stream aligns
to two-step on my windowsill.

edit#3 (all power to the PigPen)

A moonbeam's trail unwinds downhill
and threads its way through wooden blinds
to dance upon my windowsill.

Through channels of a moonshine still
a glittered path of gold designs
a moonbeam's trail unwound downhill;
light focused tight enough to fill
the room in matching streams aligns
to two-step on my windowsill.

edit#2 (it may not be fair to blame milo)


A moonbeam's trail which winds downhill
is slipping through the wooden blind
to dance upon my windowsill.

Across the lake, in midnight's still,
a rippled, glittered path defined:
a moonbeam's trail which winds downhill.

Light focused tight enough to fill
the room, in matching streams aligned
to dance upon my windowsill.

Sir owl's hoot and barn wren's trill
cross through the air, at last to find
a moonbeam's trail which flows downhill.

Bright orange starlight starts to spill,
careening down a spiraled rind,
to dance upon my windowsill.

White swans' reflective wing and bill
go gliding by to bring to mind
a moonbeam's trail which winds downhill
to dance upon my windowsill.

Moonlight's trail 'cross waters still
slipped through strung and slatted blinds,
danced upon my windowsill.

Bringing dreams to jolt and thrill
the sparkling path on ripples winds
moonlight's trail 'cross waters still.

Midnight's gleam, a room to fill
through a crack a moonbeam finds
danced upon my windowsill.

Sir owl's hoot and barn wren's trill
connected to this earth that binds
moonlight's trail 'cross waters still.

Orange stars roll down the hill
gray mists have built, their scented rinds
danced upon my windowsill.

Illuminating wing and bill,
swans' grace brought forth in hearts and minds,
moonlight's trail 'cross waters still
danced upon my windowsill.

danced upon my windowsill
through strung and slatted wooden blinds
moonlight's trail 'cross waters still

midnight's gleam, a room to fill
through a crack a moonbeam finds
danced upon my windowsill

bringing dreams to jolt and thrill
the sparkling path on ripples winds
moonlight's trail 'cross waters still

seeking strength and finding will
new plans drawn from hearts and minds
danced upon my windowsill

with owl's hoot and barn wren's trill
connecting to this earth that binds
moonlight's trail 'cross waters still

illuminate white wing and bill
swans' grace sails through life's groans and grinds
danced upon my windowsill
moonlight's trail 'cross waters still
