River On the Moon

In the middle of deep dark woods Beneath the clumsy, capricious clouds A wacky, wiggly passage leads To a captivating, cavernous ground There dwells a divine dreamy Ipomoea__ With the sunset, she gets herself unwrap__ To brew with love, in her beaming lucent lap Some nifty, nebulous Ambrosia Pour one drop of it in your soul and soon___ You'll see a surreptitious door in the middle of thin air Climb it__ embrace it___ no need to fear And boom___ you are teleported to a river on the moon Night Elves in gossamer gowns sing by the brink too Ssshh! listen to the sweetest song, the calmest tune Swim and watch the ethereal flies hovering over you Until you are inebriated by river of the moon The secret river, seen by none But those with a tender heart Purest of thoughts and sweetest clarion And who love the universe __ till the very end ************************************************** , 04-29-21) Note: IPOMOEA ALBA is a flower, also called moonflower or moon vine) Ambrosia (in Greek mythology) is the food or drink of the Greek gods, often depicted as conferring longevity or immortality upon whoever consumed it. It was brought by doves and served at the heavenly feast.
