Silver Slivered Moon

Sliver moon hand in the sky at night

nighttime fixtures of stars burning bright

to light the darkness and

shed light on a dream

of times, when I slept in a crib and a mobile

donned down on me

snuggled in my comforter

now, grown-up though

the snow on the ground comforts the earth

like a comfortable comforter

he who sleeps besides me comforts me

as I long to dream

now the dream comes

is it scary to want to marry the universe?

That would be a vast responsibility to be married to the universe. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Sara
