Light of moon,
Shine on me
Enraptured,
In your fantasy
Shadowed face,
Mysterious glow
Illuminate,
An open window
Allow the night
To sail inside
As stars,
Together,
Slowly glide
Yes, brighten up
A world of gloom
I feel inside
This empty room

Good morning! I’d like to share the synopsis of a novel I’m working on, titled “Devil’s Pond“. I hope it leaves you wanting more 🙂
They were inseparable. Five young friends whose sense of adventure usually got them into trouble. This time was no different. Venturing out into what would turn out to be a stormy night, they headed for an area they were told was off limits. The sand lot was a forbidden place, a place no one spoke of, where no one dared step foot on, until now. Intrigue ruled out over warnings and a game of hide and seek commenced. Until one remained hidden.
As the storm bears down on them, they run, frightened for themselves and their missing friend. Not caring about the consequences that would await them, they quickly gather their parents to explain. But something is wrong. Baffled, the children wonder why Father Tom is the one to arrive first. Why isn’t anyone calling the police? How will their friend ever be found? And what price will they pay for getting too close to Devil’s Pond?

There’s a melody I hear when I turn out my light
It’s a haunting sound that lingers in the night
It plays for a minute, an hour, or more
This is not a tune I have heard before
But if I open my eyes to find the song
It softens, stops, and then it’s gone
Left only to imagine, this tune in my head
As I lie here, humming, awake in my bed

There are always two sides to every being
If you look closely, I’m sure you will see
Behind this pretty little face of mine
Hides a plethora of mystery
The light side bright, in golden hues
Reflecting a heavenly shine
It’s the side that I show you
Smiling, when I’m feeling kind
The darker side doesn’t shine at all
For it clearly does define
The side of me, you won’t care to see
So, I keep it, all as mine

Oh my, what a lovely house I see!
Could this mansion be for me?
Lights along the path are laid
Through the leaves of colored jade
Nestled in this olden tree
Oh! Could this really be for me?
Should I knock, to see who’s home?
No, I’ll just flutter round, and roam
About the forest, glitter, bright
With fairy dust, to mark my flight
And cast a spell, so nothing shows
I’ll cover up the mystic glows
To keep it for myself, to be
My hidden place of mystery
