On the ledge
Lost to the night sky
She, alone
Sits, waiting
With starry eyes gazing fast
At her beloved

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
