The moon, the night and I

The moon, the night and I

A Poem by Bela

I dreamt I could write

pen held tight,

flowing like river

words bled

upon the page;

wind blew through

my window

whispering pure words:

light like clouds

and fluffy like cotton candy;

I dared to ask the moon

For advice,

Stepping onto the window ledge,

His voice

Took me by surprise;

His answers honest,

His words simple,

It was us

Who complicated it all

He said.

I went back inside,

Knowing truth and wisdom,

Dreams were sure

To come to me now.

Author's Note

Bela
Yes, I'm confused with my use of 'dream' too, I'm already sleeping...am I going to sleep again? Am I going to sleep within my dream? It just went well, even if it didn't make too much sense, so I left it that way. I don't believe in over editing my poems. If it felt right at the time, then I mostly left it as it was, apart from changing some commas here and there. This might be my downside right there, but oh well.

About
Been writing poems on and off since I was 11 or 12. Dabbling a bit, many should never see the light of day, but in the past couple of years my poems are a little better. 99% of the time I do not feel.. more..
