Pearl Moon

Beneath the pearl moon
lies the valley of shadows
I'd seen her pass thru once
But she was just a wish 
Nothing ever seemed real there 
And that's why I knew she was only a thought
On the walks, I took in my dream state
But that was the only way I knew I could survive
From the things that went on in another life
The landscape and the air were different there
From the ruins of the mind, I passed every day
But still, if I looked that way it was tattered 
And I could never wash that feeling off
No matter how long I tried

I love the feelings and imagery. We have to keep seeing better worlds in order to survive in this one, don't we? Beautiful expression of this need and desire.

Beautifully skilled. Something about the moom being intense and makes one pensive, feelings awake. Love this read. The imagery a wonder and the message mysterious. Very creative!

When you walk in a shadow remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.....

Very interesting and thought provoking Debbie, I really liked the way you wound this into a brilliant finale of never being able to wash that feeling off. ..Maria

I really like this one. It's very atmospheric. To answer your question about Monster, it was just a general statement on what lurks all over the world!

This is very deep and dark Debbie. I see a ghostly figure in this wonderful poem, one who tries to run from reality but it always remains. At least that I my take. Nicely done.

This is a very well written poem, Debbie. A hint of melancholy:)
