Moonlight In the Distance

I saw you standing there with a strange look on your face. You did not utter a word around but your eyes and mouth kept moving around the world. I wasn’t sure what you were saying but I could see your spirit struggling underneath a sea of sorrows and it was hard to tell if you would make it for tomorrow. But a sudden wind blow and a ball of radiance encircle you and pulls you from the ground and sets your life in motion. You have been out there for many years, exposed to the sun, rain ,snow and heat and many times you have to sleep on the cold concrete, and the hunger you bore through the sweltering heat was not strong enough to knock you off your feet. You kept your bearings and worked without a dime, destiny close your legs and kept ambition out of your bed .The markings are on the wall that connects you to circular pattern in the deep.I has been there for centuries to teach you how to break out of the jail and how to survive without bread or chicken leg. I can see you standing in the distance with a self-made polka face, while enthusiasm and money are flowing all over the place. Business and desires are rolling and you have many designs that worth million; you can make some money from it before you make that once in lifetime trip. I can feel your courage growing and your spirit mounting and the time is coming when you have to choose between a boat and a ship. They have the same function but you must watch the distance. Endurance is in its hip and perseverance is in the walking shoe. The clouds are shifting around and you have to cover every ground. It looks like an explosion in the sky but it is only the moon that is shifting to the other side and casting a shadow over Jupiter. It will be there for one day and that will be passed away, the stars will roll in and the cactus will survive the next moon. I can see you from the distance with that mischievous look on your face carrying that subtle smile and getting ready to light up the night sky. The mountain has taken on a new path and destiny will meet with you just before daybreak. The journey is in distance and you have the perfect condition.
