Precious Moments

"To The Moon And Back" Once, in a blue moon, true love comes along Surpassing all limits...growing so strong... That each beating heart breathes in, the same song. I found such a love...the night I met you... The stars whispered to me, "This love is true! For you, there is nothing, he would not do." Each time I asked you to lasso the moon And take us both there, to sit, while we spoon Within its crest...in a place you had hewn Aloft on a cloud...that rope made whack. We said, "I love you to the moon and back!" With our hands entwined...this love would not slack. We loved with our heart and soul...and we knew Love's Eternal...even when gone from view... Gazing at the moon, I see...me and you. 3.2.2017©deborah burch Note: Final verse not entered d/t confines of length:) Precious moments...are these. I hold them dear Looking not for stars...when the moon's so near Your reflection sparkles in every tear.

Congratulations Deborah. I love 'lassoing' the moon and then the rope leaving its slack. Great imagery, Kai

Hello Deb!! I'm dropping by to check out your poetry. The wonderful Rhyme piece on "Precious Moments" caught my eye!! This is really a beautifully written narrative. Love is always such a passionate and meaningful emotion to write about. The last stanza speaks volumes -- and is the perfect ending. Superb Work!! A SEVEN AND A FAV!! Cheers and Best, Gary
