Dark Sky
Dark Sky
Sitting near the shoreline watching the
half-moon dancing in the cloudy sky
Feeling the salty wind blow through my hair.
Next to me, my forever love, smiling
as he listens to the rolling waves
In the cascading water, boats floating
in the breeze, the mysterious wonder of
their destination.
The lights in the dark sky
Planes soaring in the night
The deep universe with their powers
mystifying the urge to fly freely towards
the endless sky
Chills running through my veins so
deep it fills my body with excitement
Relaxing the body to hold onto the joyful
memories of today and hope they will still
be there tomorrow
-Deanna Vennaro
