Gaze upon
the mythic moon
light your spark of wonder
with a brightened moonbeam
drink up
the mystery moon
let it fill you
full and good
night
is the time of promise
follow
the elusive moon
walk closely
find its secret place
of crystal dreams
of fractal visions
capture
the wilding moon
embrace
its sterling spirit
let it set free
your fantasies
then ride
the magnificent moon
ride
to the realm
of midnight magic
that glistens
for you there
like stardust
in the folds of time
* *
— SHORT RHYMING VERSION —
Ride the moon
light the poet’s lamp
explore the secret realm of rhyme
ride the moon
to seek the magic
that glistens there
like stardust
in the folds of time

Love the image and your words. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we really could ride the moon….maybe out to the stars and back? As long as it was a roundtrip back to our loved ones! 🙂
Indubitably miss Lil… 😉 …like Dorothy said to Toto, “there’s no place like home”! So glad you finally got through. Glitches were probably my fault.
“like stardust
in the folds of time”
Awesome lines
much love…
Thank you Gillena… 🙂 …much love to you my friend!
How magical this is. And moon is the eternal muse.
Pleased you liked it Grace! The essence of the moon is mythical, elusive, wild, magical, and magnificent!
“ride
to the realm
of midnight magic” … Gorgeous.
This sounds like it could be a call-out at a carnival for riding a rollercoaster called “The Moon.”
Thank you Shawna. I think it would be even better if it were a full immersive virtual reality experience. Simply entitle it “Moon Rider” — the experience of another realm.
You have my heart with this poem, Rob 😀 Gorgeous, gorgeous work done!
I wrote it like a not-so-childlike fantasy, or flying, and magic, and mysticism, and always — the moon!o. I am glad you liked it. l loved writing it, to escape into its wonder.
Excellent descriptions of the moon. A fantastic journey, Rob!
Thank you Sara…! 🙂
