I’ve traveled a long road
To reach my favorite place
I stopped to rest a moment
Found myself on Moon’s face

He didn’t seem quite happy
After all, I dimmed his light
I promised him, “Don’t worry!”
“I’ll soon be tucked in, tight!”

But first I have to cross the bridge
And make sure I don’t fall through
Taking baby steps, and carefully
Is what I’ll need to do

I can see my teddy bear
Waiting patiently for me
Atop my pillow, on my bed
Tis where I want to be

So we can snuggle closely
Perhaps, to dream of Mars
Where imagination can run free
Fast asleep, beneath the stars

Monochromatic colors

Cover over, in the dark

Moonbeams, casting shadows

Cross the river, in the park

As I stand upon the bridge

Looking up to blackened sky

I see you watching over me

And wish that I could fly

Into your sweet tranquility

Where I can touch your face

Forgot about the world below

Find peace, in your lunar grace

 

This poem, and others like it, can be found in my poetry chapbook “Dark is the night“.

Tuesday night’s full moon, the Paschal Moon, named for the approach of Passover & Easter. Also known as the Pink Moon.

The Paschal full moon

A sign of Easter’s approach

Lights the path of hope

Its beauty brings renewal

To the soul of every man

 

Author’s Note: “Easter is observed on the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon, which is the first full Moon that occurs on or after the March equinox.” For more info visit: Farmer’s Almanac

I hang my swing upon a star

Tie it tightly, so I shall not fall

Move my legs, back and forth

Gaining height, though I am small

Feel the winds across my face

As my body begins to swoon

The atmosphere captures me

I’m getting closer to the moon

Behind me hides the setting sun

Casting shadows across the Earth

As I look down upon my home

I wonder, “What’s it all worth?”

Maybe I’ll stay up here awhile

In the heavens, there’s nothing I lack

Perhaps one day, I will return to say

I’ve been to the moon and back

Head keeps pounding
There’s no end in sight
Take something to sleep
Say goodbye to the light

Forgot about tomorrow
Dreams take me elsewhere
To a place in the clouds
Where there’s nary a care

Float about, with no worries
Let the real life fade dim
Become one with the moon
I can always trust him

When reality sucks me
Deep into its plight
I imagine the chance
To sneak away, take flight

Escape what can happen
Never stay here and wait
Live my life to the fullest
Before it’s too late
