Moonlight on Meadows

It rained all through noon
clouds rushing so low
could be caught by hand
Green pasture I stood on
looked like drying-up river
with no way to return home
had to spend my night with the moon

Clouds rushed away
as to catch another place
that very second marking
round moon with colorful
ring tinted blue, tinted grey
A rare cloud passing -
caressed Wavy bangs on heavenly face

Lying down supine
on a wet mound with
snarling chill wind, earthly 
humid air, fear tingling feet,
heart bleating like lost sheep
I etched that day’s full moon
within me in indelible silver ink

An evocative poem. I like the inclusion of the moon and "heart bleating like lost sheep"

Dear Thriveni, I was thrilled and captivated by your portrayal of "moonlight on the meadows". I just loved your creative imagery of the "clouds rushing so low/could be caught by hand" and "humid air, fear tingling feet,/heart bleating like lost sheep" - wow! Fantastic poetry my friend! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Ah dear poet friend, you bring happiness with your kind words. I recounted the tale my dad told me when I was a kid, it seems he was caught in a thunderstorm and had to spend the night there! He feared lightning and the roaring clouds that day onward. thank you for the visit. Blessings & cheers.
