Dragon is stopped by a creature with a child.
He has a bad temper, has never been mild.
I am a monster he tells her, wild, wild, wild.
Creature with the child gives him a smile.
I need you to babysit Kyle for a little while.
Watch the young one? He coughs up bile.
You can do it! She says, patting him on the snout.
He does not know whether to cry, whine, throw a dragon fit or pout.
But babysits the creature, and finds out….
He likes this little one
Because he brings all kinds of fun.

Standing tall with its
Disfigured branches
Looking for attention
I guess it just wants to be heard
Its branches are green but sometimes turns
Brown as it thirsts for water
Never getting enough
It has lived way passed
Its years and has probably
Seen and heard it all
That cedar must be sending
Out bird calls, because it
Hangs out with some of the
Most beautiful birds in the world
That flocks to it and
It babysits

Moon’s joy is a reward for our admiration
and appreciation of her light and grace.
She shares it freely with her brothers and sisters.
Mankind, beasts, plants, Earth itself are her children.
She lights our night paths, lives
with shimmering white threads;
golden fingers reach for us and reiterate her love.
Her liquid silver fire burning with elation
for the God who created her.
Fireworks of luminescence rain upon her children, her siblings.
She lights the way through the darkness of nights and lifts spirits of those who drink from her shimmering fountain; a mother nursing her young, a sister, navigating her siblings through blackness.
Moon is eternal, feeding our souls, our imaginations,
sharing insight, when she is full-figured and humming her songs.
Would that Moon were ever to abandon us;
dreams would die and Gaia turn to ash.
Moon babysits when sun naps and all life is
safe in her bosom.
