YouTube sent me a video;
A Space Video with footage from Space.
It was over clouds and mountains
With music for an added grace.
Before bed, I decided to watch it,
And fell into the best sleep of my life.
I couldn't awake, as a dream captured my spirit;
A hand grasped mine as I searched for the moon in strife.
I looked for a crescent, half, full or anything...
I saw our clasped hands together with confusion.
Who was this tall man with strong hands?
Is my life without a moon disillusionment?
Immediately, I was tossed into a swirl,
And landed in a lush meadow, under the moon.
I was old, but still just a little girl,
Content under the moon, stars and stuck in the boons.
Author Notes
Day 4 - NaPoWriMo 2020 optional writing prompt - write a poem based on an image from a dream.
This dream actually happened after watching the embedded video. I suppose that I rather be alone than with an astronaut living in Space. Life on earth is precious and safe. And I wrote the poem in quatrain. I played with the scheme. It works for me, even if some of the rhymes are off their schemes; ababa and xbyb
