In The Moonlight

A rather simple poem that does not stay put. It is what I felt that day.

Look up high, watcher of the night

An eye in the sky, a month to blink

Candle in the night, jewel of the sky

Chained to the Earth, high up and free.

Startled wonder, innocent and pure

Smiling light, pointed straight at me

How can such beauty exist outside heaven?

She soars, yet no wings can I see.

Salt sprays the shore, crisp blue water

Golden sand warms the feet, slows her flight

Happy giggles, coy smile over the shoulder

Happiness a treasure, hungry for a smile.

Silvery path, moonlight's shimmer

Walk by touch, toes on the cold stone

Dew forms, a cool refreshing breeze

Gentle laughter, a rustle of leaves

Run through the forest, soft moss underfoot

In her presence, wonder, and innocence

Comforting, familiar, new sensations

Is this fantasy, or a dream?

Bright Autumn colors, red, orange, and yellow

A blanket of beauty, a comfortable seat

Thrown up in the air, lands in her hair

A mischievous smile, and she's running again.

Sunrise of delight, creation's beauty

Eyes so gentle, rivals the stars

Happy eyes, an angel's smile

If she cries, rivers from heaven.

A sigh, and reality floods back

Echoes of smiles, a feather light touch

A trail of breadcrumbs, sandy footprints

Gentle promises, another moonlit night.

Was that a Dream, or another reality?

Life in dreams, a serene smile

Piercing and pure, no cloud can hide

Those gentle loving eyes in the moonlight.
