It's seven minutes to midnight
and the moon reigns in full glory over scuttling clouds
leads dancing shadows across rooftops and lawns
flits through the dreams of the sleeping
leaves behind a seed of magic
stretching the impossible into possibilities
kindles the flame of lost childhood
the innocent faith in the fantastic
shaping, reminding, teasing, daring,
will you remember all this when you awaken?
Or will your wishes burn away with the rising sun…
moon always cools dreams and sun always burns away dreams ... love, cat.

Don't want to forget magic like that.
ReplyDeleteMoon was almost full yesterday as I left for work, but it was browned along one edge, almost as if it had been burned. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLoved. Especially, this:
ReplyDelete"flits through the dreams of the sleeping
leaves behind a seed of magic"
I remember most of my dreams, so yes I will remember these things when I awaken. Which begs the questions, when is one truly awaken?
ReplyDeleteAn excellent question. An excellent poem.
ReplyDeleteAs you where describing, I was wondering. Then you came to the question. Aha...! Caught me.
