Mystic Moon Beams
moonbeams illuminate the night
piercing the veil
surrounding a closed heart
~
tides flowing to hidden spaces
passions awakening, synapses firing
cells awakening in secret codes
~
let this magic light
awaken the weary sojourner
shaking off the fearful dream
~
opening heart and soul
to beauty, wonder and love
on this harvest moon night
Thanks to my friend Kirk Lanier for his lovely photos that spark my imagination. May we soar on wings of beauty and wonder.
writing to freedom 
Mystical indeed! Beautifully penned

Thanks Shauna. 🙂 I had a moment of inspiration and fun imagining secret codes and awakenings. I sure wish I knew how to live these states that I can visit in my imagination. XD Maybe I’m planting seeds. Thanks for your support. 🙂

Beautiful words, Brad! I love the moon! ❤ I was just out last night trying once again to capture an image of its wonderfulness, it looked much like the picture you shared above, but alas, my camera just wouldn't do it justice.
Hope your week is off to a good start, my friend. Many blessings…

Thanks Julie. I’m grateful for the inspiration. My cell phone couldn’t capture the image either! That’s why I used Kirk’s image. 🙂 My moment is blah, but I’m going to hold to this vision for living with beauty. 🙂 blessings for your week too!

I love this poem, it’s very atmospheric with a feeling of mystery! I can see why that picture would be inspiring – it’s a wonderful image of a bright moonlit night. I love it when clouds sweep over the moon like that! 🙂

Brad, my blogger-friend:
I LOVE this.
Were these poems hiding somewhere all along, or do you just keep getting better all the time?

Thanks Cynthia! I have no idea about my poems. Are you saying they seem better recently or just that you are noticing them lately? I’ve been writing poems for about a year now. Inquiring minds wonder. XD

I’m saying just when I think they’re really good, they get better!
And I’m saying have you been hiding them under your bed all these years?

Thank you again Cynthia. It’s enough that you enjoyed them. I’ll see if I can stir up some more from under the bed without too much dust. XD

I’m glad you want more! 🙂 Hopefully I’ll find the inspiration again. The feedback is wonderful and confusing to me. I felt that other poems came from a deeper, purer place for me. Yet, three of you expressed responses that this poem touched you more deeply. It’s a mystery. And I’m grateful that my writing means something to you and others. Thanks my dear. ❤

You know Brad…I think you should just go with whatever is in your heart. Everybody reacts differently ….because we are all different. I have also felt that way…some of the posts that I pondered whether I should even put them on were ones that seemed to mean the most to the readers…? If you follow your heart…and listen to you intuition I don’t think you can go wrong!! ❤

Hi Brad,
Your poems are getting longer, better and deeper. I think you need to tap all that potential which has been lying neglected! Let the tide break free!
