Moonlit Bay

galaxy of night views....

Moonlit Bay

 

Strips of orange and yellow

Fill the skies before us,

A wide sky of colors on

A background of growing

Darkness,

A white orb is close to the

Moon,

The closest planet

Named Venus,

To our Earth,

We held hands

And watched the skies

Change before our eyes

Together,

Is there another world

Out there like or unlike

Ours here?

Silent moments

Passed between us,

A swish of the tides

Below us,

This planet looks somewhat

Like a big star up there

So close to the moon,

Thick cloud cover reflects

Its light,

As all sunlight disappears,

Venus and moon are

A beautiful pair to view,

This rare couplet with

Commonly shared traits of each other,

But not alike at all,

Glowing up high,

Surrounded by tiny lights,

I waited for him to speak,

We have a silent communication

Between us --so it wasn’t needed,

I was in his embrace,

And he needed no more. --J. E. Cook © 2019

This puts me back to my night-to-sunrise trips with friends back in my college years. It's funny how strangers can cause overwhelming nostalgia. I really like this. If you have the time, my poem 'horizon gates' was written on one of those very night trips. The stars make one's wondering. Keep on wondering and wandering.
