The moon is playing
hide and seek tonight
but, I am not in the mood
why must you tease my heart
in the darkness, searching
for luminous light
depending on my third eye
opening doors of perception
stumbling, into a lucid dream
without you

So for the challenge I want you to:
This was fun since it is a poetry prompt, I decided on Poetic as my title.

I slip my feet into my soft moccasins
they are my favorite earth shoes
made of soft deer hide with fringe and
colored plastic beads
attached to sturdy soles
Zipping my moccasins, I venture outside
what wonders will greet me on this
sunny cold day…
I look for the herons that resided here
since spring, unfortunately, they are nowhere
in sight…perhaps, they have finally gone to
warmer shores, I will miss them
A large flock of geese are gathering
I think, they too, will soon migrate south
but, for today they seem happy just splashing
in the lake, some are sleeping facing the sun
I feel a chill, the wind blows, my feet
crunching the fallen leaves…. the trees
appear thin with bare limbs. Once unseen
abandoned nests, a reminder of spring’s song
The honk, honk, honk of the geese echoes across
the lake with a dog picking up the beat…
gruff, gruff, ruff, ruff…
Coming around the wooded bend, I sense something
in between the trees, there is movement
suddenly, I see her, a deer with big dark eyes nibbling
on some bushes…. I smile…we walk quietly hoof to shoe
shoe to hoof, sole to soul…united in the moment
beauty is found
