~ oh, dreams ~ to be moonlight a thousand silver doubloons gilding the slumped shoulders of the sea bewitching enough, perhaps, to coax a first kiss or weave a poet from a pauper ~ oh, loves ~ to be a moonbeam a bamboo brush dipped in periwinkle daubed on silken skin, pearled and porcelain entwining limbs and latent hearts swirled to pools of passion ~ oh, worlds ~ to be the moon a front seat at the circus harlequins and jugglers and high-wire acts where the animals run the show and nothing gets out alive ~ oh, moon ~ oh, wise. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Standard Number 120 Any Form, Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.

To be the moon, its light- simply guiding all. What a wonderful feeling indeed. Many beautiful and breathtaking moments would linger, a heart could feel each one. Your thoughts are dreamy. I want to be there, around the stars- dancing on the moon. :) Brandy
