CRESCENT MOON In the horizon Lies a glimmering path Unbroken silence Diamond evening-stars Sublime, mysterious and uncharted Dark and distant, disguised, Its jagged bearing Like a warrior's scar The road not taken Always takes us afar Morning sun Memories To recall A storm Afternoons Autumn leaves Crescent moon. Through withered gardens, And the mountains we climb, Through fires and famine And the walls in our mind CRESCENT MOON/ Page 2 And as your courage starts to falter And your strength starts to fade The road less traveled Will provide you the way Grateful and fearless We must love, we must dance To the song That resides In your heart The sky Solitude Distant shores Crescent moon ©Pelin Music 2020/Luis J.

RIVER OF LOVE Morning, beclouded and still Dazed, in the river of dreams Carrying a songbird within And mountains and valleys of green Morning, the water runs deep Under the cleansing cascade Perched in my soul, like the snowfall in winter The water skidding serene Evening, the world redefined Crushed by a festering load Facing the intangible truth Under the ominous fog Wounded, it trembles and burns Achingly searching for Love Hatred and sorrow, a path bleak and narrow Is Man’s self inflicted scar Morning, springtime’s begun Under the flickering sun Forests and meadows’ perfume Nature’s indelible bloom Morning, the time’s here to fly Soaring towards emerald skies Open your heart to the infinite poem And rise to the heavens above Play with the sun, join the dance, precious moment And bathe in the River of Love. © Luis J.

CRESCENT MOON

In the horizon
Lies a glimmering path
Unbroken silence
Diamond evening-stars

Sublime, mysterious and uncharted
Dark and distant, disguised,
Its jagged bearing
Like a warrior's scar
The road not taken
Always takes us afar

Morning sun
Memories
To recall

A storm
Afternoons
Autumn leaves
Crescent moon.

Through withered gardens,
And the mountains we climb,
Through fires and famine
And the walls in our mind

And as your courage starts to falter
And your strength starts to fade
The road less traveled
Will provide you the way
Grateful and fearless
We must love, we must dance

To the song
That resides
In your heart

The sky
Solitude
Distant shores
Crescent moon

RIVER OF LOVE

Morning, beclouded and still
Dazed, in the river of dreams
Carrying a songbird within
And mountains and valleys of green
Morning, the water runs deep
Under the cleansing cascade
Perched in my soul, like the snowfall in winter
The water skidding serene

Evening, the world redefined
Crushed by a festering load
Facing the intangible truth
Under the ominous fog
Wounded, it trembles and burns
Achingly searching for Love
Hatred and sorrow, a path bleak and narrow
Is Man’s self inflicted scar

Morning, springtime’s begun
Under the flickering sun
Forests and meadows’ perfume
Nature’s indelible bloom
Morning, the time’s here to fly
Soaring towards emerald skies
Open your heart to the infinite poem
And rise to the heavens above
Play with the sun, join the dance, precious moment
And bathe in the River of Love.
© Luis J. Muñoz Inc./Pelin Music 1985-2020

MY LOVE

Radiant morning
The falling of leaves
Untroubled waters
A river adrift on it’s way to the sea...My Love

Riveting twilight
The still of the night
No sense or reason
The language of love's
Like a sparrow in flight...My Dear One.

Numinous moonlight
In the Fall
Witness in silence
As the stars
Raid the soul
Lover's Song

Glowing in rapture
And dazzling joy
Whispering willows
Disclose to the heavens
The lovers’ embrace...My Love

LORDS OF WAR

Beware
Lords of war
Your gleam
Faint and dull

A spear
Your blood
In fear
The flood
Don't trust
The beast
Its feast
The corpse
Of Love

Their word
Tainted well
Their thought
Toxic swell

A spear
Your blood
The fear
The flood
Don't trust
The beast
Its feast
The corpse
Of Love

Beware
Lords of war
Your greed
Washed ashore
