 Glowing softly in the sky The moon is hanging very high It's shape is round and full On the ocean it gently pulls Seeping onto the barren shore Spreading out a little more The sea engulfs the sand As the moon takes command Surrounded by tiny stars Reaching out so very far Shining brightly down on me Looking over the deep sea I walk along the beach Within the ocean's reach Thinking about the past Free of tears now at last The wind caresses my hair I move without a care My heart is feeling very light On this beautiful moon-filled night Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

 As the moon sets free the soul And brightly shines upon your tears You are on your way to your new goal Walking proud without all the past fears Step high and step proud into the tide Hold your head up and smile your smile Smiling with Luna as you venture with pride As you walk into life given that extra mile. |

Beautiful poem, Lone Wolf! I especially loved it because I am a sucker for the moon shining over the sea! That sense of relief you portray is comforting.  sp |

The moon is shining here tonight The gentle glow, the soft pale light But, it seems, the moon I see Shines brighter yet, when seen by thee. A beautiful poem, Jenn. I'm so glad that happiness has entered back into your writing. It speaks volumes. Trev. There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees. ~~Victor Hugo~~ |

LoneWolf~ Ah .... but surely the spirit of the wolf would enjoy the beauty of the moon. Such lovely thoughts to cavort across the page. Beautiful feelings, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
