The Moon and the Stars Promise



They will not let me sleep!
For me, they are far brighter than the sun.
Which seems to wake everyone!
The moon and stars, though  to me, are the most deep.

Calling awake my poetess' sleeping pen?
Recalling the beauty of my days and nights.
Kites by day~ then fog, in San Francisco nights.
I cherish you, and like my own child, shall never be forgotten.

Nor the Spartan love-god, that came from your hills.
The blessing of teaching in aromatiic Chinatown.
Those memories as lovely and soft as a foggy dawn.
The moon and stars, each night dance,  a sparkling quadrille.

I adore the moon and the stars they make me feel alive and give me tingles of joy when I espy them through my telescope... your poetic words describe my feelings perfectly. On a clear night there is nothing more mesmerising than Mother Moon. Thank you dear Panagiota for saying it your way it's a FAVE for me. With love and hugs Ann xx

Hekllo Panagiota, I enjoy to see the stars and the moon. For me they are beautiful to see. When the sky is clouded there is no moon or stars to be seen. Hugs Darlene xx-oo

Hello Pangie - As a believer in the stars and moon I had to open the entry. Your chosen words are lovely with poetic flow. Thank you for sharing and keep reaching for the moon and stars.

Dear new friend, Lisa, They are so real to me and serenity makers. I usually write when most sleep...a zany habit. But nothing new. Pangie xx 5/10 6:10pm
