Capture the Moon

 

That child
has captured the moon
holding eternity’s promise
in share

dreams of the future
‘neath a canopy of forever stars

feeling the energy
the vibrations
feeling the resonance
of a universe
of possibility

the strum of imagination
that brings song
to the young heart
that elevates
the courage of youth

the rhythm of spirit
that brings the thrill of dance
to young feet
that drives away
the stumble of sadness

the hum
of the hands of time
that will carry the dreams
toward the doors
opening on that future

but now
that moon child
is alight with anticipation

waiting
wondering
wishing

gazing
through the eyes of innocence
looking to that miracle
that is tomorrow

  1. I am in awe of these lines especially:

    “drives away
    the stumble of sadness”

    “gazing
    through the eyes of innocence
    looking to that miracle
    that is tomorrow”

  2. I do hope young people look to the future with hope and without fear, for they inherit a world less certain than the one we thought we knew. It is a beautiful poem.
