55 - waves








just moments before
the full moon bursts forth
from behind storm clouds in the night,
the dark is the deepest
pit of despair,
that crushes you with its might.
then silver waves bathe you
in rays so intense
your spirit with heaven unites,
giving you strength
to from this deluge,
to rise and to alight.










every friday, compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. if you want to join in the fun and games and give it a try...post your story and report to the boss G-Man

  1. You reconnect with heaven inside the heart. A glimpse of the moon reminds you soul is part werewolf. To be part of everything is timeless.

  9. Everytime I read you, inspiration- and these days brighter- comes to me. Your picture is so similar to yesterday's Calli's pic of the moon.

    How I wish to swim among such silver waves...
    Just Beautiful... dear shadow.

  10. It is not the moon that makes the heart alight, but rather the heart that gives the moon its glory and light.

  25. I really do like your poetry. But I always yearn for some simple stuff about your life. You know. I would really like to hear you just talk about your day. Or a point of view on current events. Stuff like that.

    ReplyDelete
  26. "Always darkest before the dawn" or something like that. You remind us in this poem that rather than sinking into despair we can remember during the hardest times that there will better times.
