Sweet Moonbeam

It felt so real.

Late, late @ night, blissful and boreal.

I thought it was a dream.

Sent from a sweet moonbeam.

 

I was deep in dreams at around 3.

It was a  sweet sleep... just as you wished for me.

I felt a warm touch, like a soft whisper, slow across my cheek.

Not a straight line, but light, lofty, smooth and oblique.

 

A smile radiated to my right.

A light in my dark night.

It was you!

YOU!  

Celeste!

My light on the horizon from the northwest.

It was you!  

Brisk, fresh, strong with courage.

It was you!

Full of life and ready for your next voyage.

 

I absorbed your smile,

its radiance in the lunar cold.

I just felt

a waiting, a wanting

to behold.

I drifted back to sleep

at first into slumber.

Smiling

Breathing

Easing

Into a dream-like stupor.

 

I took your hand into mine

as I entered into sleep's dark fall.

I held you tight

to have your back

whenever you call.

I sought to receive you

through your celestial ray.

To be your sunshine

your warmth

your beau

on every day.

 

* * * * *

 

I reflect back on

my nights of empty dreams.

I held my thoughts,

as suspended in time,

to protect my heart,

and face my mean.

 

I sensed your presence and awoke to your signal

Your glow filled my dark room and tapped my soul.

Your distal touch tried its all

To awake me from my nocturnal stall.

It was your simple attention to your awakening it seemed

That simply tipped my trust

of feeling, of wanting,

for fate to create,

an existence

with a sweet moonbeam.

 

I now ease

into sweet sleep

and deep dreams

of my sweet moonbeam.

Notes

Written on the very early morning of 3/12/2013

after getting your picture on my iPhone at 3am.

At that time,

of our early circling,

orbiting around our

newly formed space.

I sought to trust a simple flow again,

of a signal, tho distant,

and to believe

in shine,

in glow,

in a belief,

that we can restore

by holding on

and letting go.
