Moonlight on the water
By
BobbiJo McBroom
Things here aren't what they seem, they trick the weary mind
I ran to catch a glimpse of stars, and Lo what did I find
A field of flowers stretched out, as far as the eye could see
What cruel Goddess have I wronged, who'd play this trick on me
I rode here on a shooting star, to see what I was here below
The ride was long and I was tired, I came so far you know
I fell asleep beneath a tree, and then when I awoke
I'd drifted off beside a lake, my lovely boots were soaked
The sky is such a pale blue shade, not dark as when I came
There are beings of such magic here, but I know not their names
Just when I think all is lost, I notice something strange
That one bright star has moved down the sky, the light begins to change
The darkness that I love so, has settled down once more
The moon I noticed coming down, is shining as before
Ah there they are the stars I know, winking into sight
From down here on your Earth, they give such a paltry light
There upon the water rests my dear friend moon
I'll beg of him a ride back home, I must get there soon
Just as he settles in, to kiss himself goodnight
I touch the moon there on the water, I grasp it's shining light
I stride the trail it sketches, across the lake so still
I step onto the silvery bridge, and drawing on my skill
I walk the bridge across the lake, and keep the moon still in my sight
As he lifts his shining head I ride, his moonbeams into the night
I surf into the starry void, back to whence I came
Those mortals whom I met down there, cannot recall my name
I never will again come down, I love living here on high
I am free to wander where I will, I have regained the sky!

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1376136 Don't know how to send you an image .. but this one at the above link .. I think you'll have to copy and past it! I posted this one in February. Snag it if you want, though I have a feeling that there must be a boatload of fabulous moon photos out there! I adore the poem, Dang but you're good!

Really enjoy your whimsical and very lyrical style of poetry. Such visual and lovely imagry, told like an adventure. And one of the many lines I just adored 'touch the moon there on the water, I grasp it's shining light', I could really see and feel that. Outstanding writing. CC
