Sharon Gulley Poet Free verse

Silver Moon

Embracing eyes of the silver moon
hear my plea as I speak with you.

Hear within my deep despair that
I need to know healing care.

Shine down upon my head of grey
and bring to me the grace for
which I pray.

Lighten up the hurt within my soul
and teach me to be humble for
humility I have mastered so.

This time with you means so much
and I thank you for being my friend
so perfectly hung from the heavens
above.

Sharon Gulley

James Horn May 4, 2015 at 7:09 PM Laura and you are really into moons. They have really been awesome lately here in Wilmington, NC area as you see it across the ocean. There was another neat view of the full moon on top of the Seattle Space Needle also. The free form gives you a feeling of peace and tranquility. Poetry Soup is such a great inspiration to all of us poets. Jim Horn Sharon Gulley May 5, 2015 at 7:32 AM Thank you, James for stopping by to read and for leaving a comment of your moon experiences, I bet they were awesome to see. Have a wonderful day....Sharon G. :)
