Tonight we have a full moon

I told her Mr. Moon is not hiding again

In a whirl, she ran into my opens arms

And thereafter, an open space greeted us

 

Majestic white hue gracefully lit the dark sky

The moon mystique bedazzled us

And its charm swallowed our words

Only the stillness of night silently accompanied us

 

“Look up.” I finally broke the silence

I gazed twinkles on her eyes

There was a smile but not for me

Gently, I landed her a kiss

The kiss was my ‘thank you’

Something in the past was just being replayed

 

It’s not about the moon, it’s beyond that …..

  9. Hello Deborah.

    Thank you for the visit :)
    Glad you liked it. I wrote the poem last spring. The poem reminded to who I was in the past. So, it’s not just about my daughter.

    So I guess let me say this “Howdy!!!”

    Take care,

    we’re so blessed to have loved ones in our lives, aren’t we? they fill each day with a touch of love. Either it was a kiss or a hug.

    This blog is just merely a chronicle of my thoughts. Honestly, I didn’t expect that people would like it :)

    Glad you liked the Autumn Leaves song. It’s the right timing to enjoy the song while watching leaves blown off from its ‘home.’

    Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday :)
