Gingerbread

Gingerbread

A Poem by Moonie
"

~gingerbread~

"
Save me from this
false gingerbread glitter,
this candied lattice of floating 
stars.
Save me from this
world wide web
that
guarantees to
make me better,
where people thirst 
for costly paper money
But not for 
free love.
Take me away to your open voids,
and hidden rock crevices
where I may weep, and scream and be well.
Let the sea sing me to sleep,
and make the wind wipe away 
all the tracks that lead
to me.
Numb the five of 
my senses,
enlighten the rest
like japanese lights
hung on trees of gold.

Author's Note

Moonie
The poem is on the falseness of mankind which has made us similar to the gingerbread men.

Moon's fairest daughter: Worldly 'junk' can lure the most righteous person away. It is such a beautiful writing. It's packed full of frustration and sadness at the way we allow ourselves to fall into that pit of empty desire. The metaphor of gingerbread men is brilliant, and unfortunately greed leads the way for too many. 'But not for free love' is so profound, but it does exist, I believe. For everything to be transparent: honesty and kindness to be in the forefront of our mind would change the world. Every line is a plea for hope. Your ending is beautiful. Great writing & Congratulations. Well deserved. Thank you so very much! Dale

Material things mean nothing to me. I would rather have nothing and be happy then own the world and be miserable. I liked your poem. Ty for sharing!

Thanks a lot. I am glad you liked this one!! :D
I'd only read that other poem of yours, the one about maple sap. I liked that one. I like this one, too.

Your writing is kind of enchanted, like one of those enchanted forest tourist places. I love those places.
