	As a poem speaks and breathes life, Cairol Dawson’s poems are moments lived the best way possible and captured in the best possible form and language. But unlike journal entries, her poems do not merely preserve experiences, rather they continue to be in the ever-present, moments not framed in the past, but living in the here and now, echoing in the very same space as the reader who reads them. Indeed, magic. How can one, with the logic of science, explain for instance the experience that can be derived from the poem, “Per l’amore de la luna” (for love of the moon)? Absolutely brilliant in its conception in words and a mind’s eye. The poem does not care what country you are in and in what time. It’s there, a cupped magnificence on the palm of the page, yes, like the image of the moon reflected on till waters. There is simply no explaining. It’s simply there, existing in its own magical hour, to be loved.

EXCERPTS

From the Dark Side of the Moon

From the Rubble The road well traveled left hearts and understanding behind as muddy footprints, for others to come along and trample with every day business, while busy going on their ways as life follows on its normal course, bombs igniting underneath the unsuspecting travelers, impaled by the very steel which promised to protect, serve, and save people’s lives yet the multitudes of death seem to vaporize and envelope the senses as if they were a morning misting dew, fading within the sunrise, dissipating as if it were never really there at all and the families of all nations grieve and know their loss, families are deprived from that which some may never fully understand yet embrace as a normal existence, missing family members unknown except in album keepsakes of faded memories, left in their rubble of life. To the masses lost and the survivors of New York City 911, Indonesia, Haiti, Chile, and Japan, in memory of their suffering, loss of life and loved ones’; may they never be forgotten and to All Poets who have or will take the leap, to go out on a limb and write of love or loss, real or imagined, rhymed or unrhymed, in an attempt to articulate life and preserve the art of love and the hearts who dare to write so that others may feel how we Poets see the rest of the world.                                                           Back to From The Dark Side of the Moon
