Take flight, across the fullest moon

Watch as creatures swoop, and swoon

Seek out their journey, ride the wind

Then pause a moment, do not rescind

The thoughts, which carry you away

Take heed, as branches begin to sway

Along with the breeze, they gently fly

Dance with the night, let time go by

Forget the sorrows, gone, yesterday

Send them all packing, to the Milky Way

The glow of the light, shines through the dark

Though life is, often led by, a question mark

Gives comfort, to those who fear in the night

An escape, wings spread, exhale, take flight

Desolate, lies the body of William
No one knows he’s there, but him
Erected a marker, on a whim
By light of a candle, growing dim

Full moon tilts his head and smiles
Knows about William, and his wiles
Certainly, not a man who beguiles
But, one with tribulations, and trials

A lonely grave, its marker shines
With no one there, to grieve nor pine
This unknown man, created a shrine
In his name, not yours, nor mine

Alas, poor William, no one knew
He left this Earth, for a moment or two
Now flies about, his mind askew
This count of darkness, his evil, true.

 

October Writing Prompt – And just like that he was six feet under

Child of darkness, an endless plight
Carry your sadness, into the night

Moon shines down, a trodden path
Nothing is left, in the aftermath

Lift up your head, here, do abide
Safety awaits you, by my side

Through the forest, trees will guide
Wiping away, the tears you’ve cried

Limbs extend, to grasp, to hold
Gentle hugs, around you, fold

Heed their warmth, brave the cold
September, leaves your spirit old

October comes, the midnight hour
This, is when my light, will tower

Over your journey, feel the power
So full, there is no need to cower

Rise up, and let me bring you home
Together, through the dark, we roam

Fear nothing, while I am in your sight
Follow me, closely, no need for flight

Sleep, while morning shines her sun
Then seek me out, when day is done

In the dead of night,
When moonlight shines
My lantern captures,
That which is mine.

Awakening graveyard,
The spirits do beckon
Calling out to me,
At least, what I reckon;

Is their immortal way
Of conveying their wishes
And I am never,
At all, suspicious.

For this is the time
Of the year I bloom
Though others may see
A most certain gloom

Autumnal equinox
My treasure, my Fall
The time in my life,
When the spirits enthrall

Those days, well spent, watching the moon

I longed to be up there, to listen, commune

Along with the stars, shining so sweetly

She’s captured my heart, ever so completely

A child of the moonlight, carefree, gliding

While I’m down on Earth, watching, hiding

I don’t want her know, how I envy her place

Happily swinging, oh, the joy on her face!

I’ll wait in the shadows, as she flies in the night

In my eyes, she is starlight, glistening bright
