“Shoot for the Moon, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” — Les Brown
“Full Moon Service” by: Erik Johansson
PROLOGUE
This is the perfect moon tonight
I made certain it’d be just right
silkenly cool and subtly bright
a sublime orb of heavenly light
MAIN POEM
Moon spills in
the open window
paints the room
a soft silver glow
as a moonlit breeze
comes tumbling in
stirring a hush
of sweet refresh
it dances deftly
up your arms
across your chest
to tease your flesh
in whispered rushes
lightly lilting
fluttered breaths
caress your face
to wrap itself
soft upon you
in soothingly
fond embrace
as the moonlight
holds you tender
zephyred fingers
toss your hair
moon’s unexpected
cool companion
this night breeze
performed with flair
EPILOGUE
With this perfect moon tonight
the zephyr was a surprise delight
all my plans worked out just right
and my crew has moons for future nights
