Quarter Moon

Quarter moon, hung low in the velvet sky
Bring a smile to a heart which dares to try

I hear you call to distant stars, ‘come out and play’
As warm summer nights crown the lazy days

Sweet contentment and peace saturates my soul
Shooting stars sail night skies, fall where, I do not know

Absorbing the grand magic, I lay in repose
Recalling childhood dreams now deposed

While I'm basking in splendor and drift into slumber upon this chaise
May I awake at day's break and still feel as much cheer

If we had grown up together, we could have gone star gazing, Annalise. This is such a touching poem and surely a winner in Paula's contest. Love, Carolyn
