AND
where have they all gone -
winged in bright orange hues
maybe to the moon
to garner footsteps
left in the precious dirt
daring ancestors
some still say
there are no footprints on the moon
its all a lie

That initial haiku...just lovely. And that last poem...I could almost hear it in a grandmother's voice, after so many questions. :)

This made me think of a book I read some time ago by Di Morrissey titled "Tears of the Moon", in which the phrase referred to a beautiful pearl said to be a tear of the moon. It was a wonderful book. Thanks for jogging my memory!

Where have they all gone - one wonders. I saw one not too long ago. It was beautiful and I wondered what soul it carried with it in the autumn breeze.
