Haunted Orb

Luna's specter glows
   Gazing at her reflection
In the black night sea







Inspired by Raul's "Reflections" contest

A beautiful and vivid picture you paint with your words here Donna. My mind's eye could plainly see the moon's reflection in the dark sea. God bless Donna, Sincerely, Love, Moses
