I ride the vibrant crests Of a tangerine moon Glowing across stardust ridges Where inspiration tickles My heart with laughing dewdrops I drift on the edge of a smiling Emerald forest filled with Whispery pines and strong oaks All the trees remind me why The birds make a home on branches With their bristling, dancing leaves I walk through a thriving garden Alive with scarlet and cobalt Rare colors in the choiciest purples Mauves, sunset yellow and lavender Hastening to create a sweet fantasy I breathe in the crisp, cool air Of an autumn night, a summer light Feeling the freedom of a heart Gentle and warm, feeling forlorn For the tender caress of rainfall Caressing my shoulders lightly I kiss the silence with hope For moments poured full of joy While my heart whispers Recklessly thrilling in the vitality Of a dream that fulfills me I ache for these days of simplicity When light plays with the shadows Echoing through the longings With cries resembling poetry Lingering on the edge of sanity I dream, I imagine, I praise With a prayer of faith Believing in the God who reigns High above my thoughts In a heaven where I will hope Love continues to abide, eternally Inner Child Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke September 1, 2021

A lovely, pretty poem with so many beautiful descriptions and an ethereal feel A childhood that was wonderful. One of my favorite lines above reads, "Emerald forest filled with whispering pines and strong oaks" and the words, "tangerine moon" Sometimes I refer to trees or birds in my poems too. Happy to have found this one Blessings, Marikate

"I ride the vibrant crests of a tangerine moon..." That is especially lovely, I think, but the whole poem is beautiful.
