Moon Memento - Silver Dust Tales

Written: April 14, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Suzette Richards *********************************** In shimmering twilight, a memento on the moon lies quiet, a story etched in silver dust, evokes the wanderer of the past. Moon serenity is countless, and heart beats bear sureness. Astral footsteps foster starlight, tracks of kismet smite. Human creation will grow, even as infernal fungi blow, Guided by its healing glow, ideas rise as heaven flows. A beacon for cosmic treasure hunters, lost in wonder, Scattering nuclear waves across our broken raves. Moon rulers of night's endless canvas, secrets soundless, Each crater bears a mark of human spirit, etched by hopes legit. Echoes of vast growth, the fallout of anarchy, and sloth, A stark slant of man trespass, bloody scenes of raw gas. Visions reveal paths daring, souls can roam in the glaring, A reminder that dreams stay, even under peaceful skies.

Dear dr sotto, definitely wisdom flows throughout this well woven lines and i read it three times, and think sometimes one have to be very deep to grasp such ethereal deepness. I love "A stark slant of man trespass, bloody scenes of raw gas. Visions reveal paths daring, souls can roam in the glaring, A reminder that dreams stay, even under peaceful skies." How profound and soulful! And so much truth in there that would leave any reader intrigued! Pleasure visiting your page. Sending you light
