For You, I'll Shoot For The Moon

A Love Villanelle For My Muse

Detail From The Album "Shooting At The Moon" by Kevin Ayers and The Whole World

Introduction

Today I was talking with my Muse and she asked if I knew the phrase

"Shoot for the moon and if you miss you at least land among the stars"

At first, I misunderstood, but then realised I did know it and it also made me think of a wonderful album that is in my collection by Kevin Ayers (I use quite a lot of his songs in my poems and stories).

I have included the opening song from the album "May I" to accompany this villanelle. I love the line:

"I'd like the company of your smile"

For You, I'll Shoot For The Moon
