Notes About The Poem

As Moonlight Sleeps On the Bank

As moonlight sleeps
On the bank of a stream
Ever so peacefully
In the dead of twilight
Undisturbed
I gently tap my foot
In the still water, 
Creating 
Ripples that brings it 
Happily to life, dancing 
With reckless abandon
Rhythmically
Just for me

Oh, that's beautiful! I think we all want a chance to be in the dead of moonlight, undisturbed. I used to go running at night. It's such a special time!
