Moonstruck
There is nothing more beautiful on a quiet night than watching the
yellow moon, round and low, as it untangles itself, silently,
uncomplicatedly, from the branches of a tree. Caught by the succulent
glow of the night, by an upsurge of roaring joy, you pause as you fill
your lungs with the exhilarating cool, crisp air. The city sleeps in
utter silence. Tonight especially it is so poignant it brings a spasm of
swooning seductiveness to your sated heart.
Author is a Pacific Islander who, as a kid, dreamt of crossing oceans. She had always been fascinated with new places. She is a gypsy and loves wandering. She is a Pacific Islander who now lives in the land of milk and honey. Writing makes her feel deliciously calm, at ease, liberated, anchored, less inhibited. Everything in life, for her, is a beautiful paradigm of poetry. She will always be a patriot of all things poetic.
