The moon.

THAT MOON                                                                                                                                      Vicki O'Brien 25th June 08

And once ago the mood did whisper to me,

little girl, hold on tight to life

for it will

toss you into its oceans full of storm

that play without mercy.




and that big pearl moon

smiled a shy pink smile

learn to walk in the cloak of lonely

it whispered

for to enjoy company unneeded is a much sweeter seed to chew,




little girl

that moon whispered in a hush

big orb eyes drinking me in like liquid love

give of yourself

what you want of others,




thrust away hands that grip tight

for those who love true

love you in your freedom

that moon

sighed upon a glinted smile of silver




then that moon

blew a wind of no calm

that tossed an carried me along life's twisted paths

not now a little girl

i give the moons whispers to you

to do with what you will.
