Notes About The Poem

RIDING ON THE MOONRISE

RIDING ON THE MOONRISE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In monochromatic musings the moon rises--a deep silver ballerina, turning pirouettes with perfect form. In eternal stoic grace, she takes her place in the heavens, content to ever-reflect the light of the sun. Her moonbeams appear as runways in the starry night.

dreams ride on moonbeams
hung from that silver being
as dreams always do
