My angular and wandering travels....

Duncanville, TX, United States
I'm an international person, having spent 6+years of my youth in various Central and South American countries. Within my occupation as a television engineer, I've since traveled back to Mexico several times to film various religious sites, to Ireland to film a video documentary on the life of St. Patrick, to Portugal and England. Each time I took hundreds of pictures, wrote songs and poems about the things I saw and heard and felt go on around me, and tried to absorb a sense for what people in each locale thought. How they love, how they see, how they think.... My other sites: www.myspace.com/mothtoacandle http://community.webshots.com/user/waynocook www.soundclick.com/eddieaustin

The Moon Drifts


The Moon Drifts

Night falls over the city close,
Floating a Technicolor dreamcoat,
off the celestial hat stand,
painted in hues I would love to blend.

Muted buildings in dull black,
Smoke curling from one lone stack,
Shapes in cones, trees, and squares,
Naught down there but worldly cares.

Up in the sky, the moon drifts,
In a sliver of light like a candlestick,
In a shadow box of pinks and blues,
A vast canvas of galactic hues.
