Adrift With the Moon

Oh moon, with your many moods, your beauty woos me, as you wax and wane majestic. Your mesmerizing call awakens my heart, as you carry me away like the tides that ebb and flow along your shimmery pathways. Where you go, I will follow, guided by a spirit of wanderlust to distant lands and seas, navigating by the stars alone. For I am captivated by your beauty as I hear your siren song calling an enchanting, haunting melody too powerful to resist. My heart is moonstruck away I go, adrift and wandering until I meet you face to face forever I will roam. Written on 5/3/2015

Laura, The full moon in Wilmington over the ocean and at Space Needle in Seattle were totally awesome. Watched moon and through hair I ran a comb, while seeing it continue across the sky to roam. I always wondered what the face in the moon was trying to say or sing. Jim Horn
