Moonlight whispers
her sweet refrain to me.
Moonlight lingers
and rains her words on me.
Moonlight sits
in hallowed skies for me.
Moonlight hears
the love I set free.
Moonlight fears
nothing,
nobody.
For moonlight sees
the flowers swaying
majestically
Sleep fairies visit
when moonlight cries happy tears.
Dream dust sprinkles eyes
and away we glide, so far
to orbit another star.
11:59 - The cool breeze clashes with
my fired-up mind, I’m alive, I’m breathing
deep lungfuls of crisp air, and love sits
in the waves somewhere.
12:00 - The clock chimes and I’m in a daze
watching the stars graze upon the meadows
of midnight. The streetlights pop out
and the moonlight brightens the sky.
12:01 - Another lungful, I breathe. A dream.
Life couldn’t be more miraculous, full of magic,
I smell the scent of the moonlit flowers
and I’m empowered.
12:02 - I let my pen flow on a pilgrimage, to where?
Who knows, the destination isn’t important,
it’s the journey there that invigorates the page.
12:03 - I close my eyes for a few seconds,
the seconds flip into minutes, I’m awake, but drifting,
watching my thoughts become visions.
Watching for inspiration to flash across my eyes
like shooting stars on a clear night.
12:15 - I open my eyes, the sky
now dazzles in colours previously unseen,
a cosmic rainbow glowing up the universe
just for us night owls to witness.
And I’m a hapless lovelorn believer
in the wonder of the ether.
I sit and worship at the altar of forever,
knowing that love sits in the waves,
and the trees sing in the breeze.
12:16 - A hedgehog wanders near.
12:17 - Face down the hedgehog runs by me,
seeking a feast in the foliage down the pathway.
12:18 - I breathe the silence, I live in the instant,
floating on my own sweet stories. I let my eyes close.
12:38 - The midnight rainbows throw all new glows,
starlight sparkles brighter than I’ve ever known.
The shooting stars conspire to fire up my imagination
with a light show of the heavens.
And I sit pen in hand, sifting my dreams onto the page.
12:39 - The cool wind blows a little harder,
my mind runs across a landscape of green meadows.
And I’m flying with every bounding step,
like I’m being swept on the air.
12:40 - I hear the rumble of an airplane flying far above,
and my mind jumps up, to look at the ground from up high,
and I see myself close my eyes and listen to the night.
12:57 - The fox flies like a comet across the green
and stops, turns and looks at me, I throw some scraps,
and he pads closer. Paws at my feet, as I throw another treat.
12:58 - Inspiration seeds
now planted in my meadow,
I stand and stretch. A shooting star
glances down at me and smiles,
as love sits in the waves of midnight air,
I smile back and wish for
moonlit love to become true.
12:59 - The magic hour ticks its last tocks,
and I open the door and wave goodnight to the fox.
