Was it only a dream?
This poem is for the Full Moon challenge on Vocal+.
A Waltz With the Moon
Last night upon a silver sea
The moon came down and danced with me.
He swept me up and over craters
Like a graceful figure skater.
“My beams can’t shine as bright as thee,
My lover when you gaze at me.”
He whispered words of love and light,
He kept me safe, so big and bright.
In deepest dark I felt no fear,
As long as Moon, my Moon was near.
All through the night we spun and swirled,
We felt as though we ruled the world.
Past glowing stars we carried on
Embracing ‘till the break of dawn.
Until the bustling city started,
We said goodbye so brokenhearted.
Am I moonstruck? Yes, I swoon,
For love of the man, the man in the moon.
When I wake, they say I dreamed it.
Moon, if you’re listening, I really mean it.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
