“GUARDED BY MOONLIGHT”

Moonlight crept through the cracks, of the cabin, to lie on the floor. Crossed the room without tracks, savoured each spot as the spot before. Dust danced on the moonbeams, as time just trickled past. Minutes lingered for hours, it seems, these nights, how long they do last. Pictures now shaded of you last spring, as moonlight moseyed on along. Dreadin’ pictures the moonlight will bring, wonder asked me, “What went wrong?” The moon’s light climbs the wall, chased by the dancin’ dust. Ascendin’ its creepin’ crawl, in a few hours, it’ll be dusk. Passing is another night, the moon’s light guards against sleep. Which one of us was right? This life I cannot keep.

    Sounds like the cabin is a place to use your imagination as you drift into the land of dreams. You were right on in my poem about the plant and wild shoot. It is my grandson of whom I am speaking and the love and effort that I put into his early years. Keep writing. Sara

    Hey Jim, I like the image you seem to convey and the saddness and langoring lonelines comes through quite well. I'll be keeping an eye out for ya, after I re-read your other three poems. Thanks for the read... ~<><
