- Moon -

                                                       The sailing moon of the night
                                                       captivating with dazzling glow
                                                  Clouds are adorned with silver lining
                                               The light and movement create sensuality

                                                    Apply shimmer to the mossy carpet
                                                                    under my feet
                                                              - the silence merged
                                                           reinforces one's presence

                                                          Breathing deeply and calmly
                                                               just listening inward
                                                             into my own existence
                                                                and consciousness

                                                         This precious beauty is lifted
                                                        I am grateful that I can witness
                                                          such a peaceful experience
                                                       - inextricably linked with nature

Sotto Poet September 16, 2026 at 3:19 AM Your lovely poem beautifully captures the serene and mesmerizing essence of a moonlit night, Anne-Lise. The imagery of the moon's glow and the silver-lined clouds paints a vivid picture, and the reflection on nature evokes a sense of inner peace and gratitude. Excellent Job

David Crandall September 13, 2026 at 7:58 PM Beautiful - I guess if you want to commune with nature, you can just go outside and look at the moon...I think I'll do that now. Uhoh, I don't see it - maybe it's not up yet!

Daniel Henry Rodgers September 10, 2026 at 5:19 AM Dear Anne-Lise, I love the shift from watching the moon high up in the sky straight down to the feeling of wet moss under bare feet. I also like that it doesn't overthink the moment or try too hard to be grand, it just captures that rare, peaceful second where you feel totally plugged into the night. Beautifully done. Blessings, Daniel
