Call on the moon

Call me crazy

You beautiful thing

The sky looks hazy

I don’t know what this means

The moon hangs by the stitching of the sky

Cool to the touch

The breeze, waits for my reply

These lazy nights of laughter

Only here, I’m the master

Bring me my dream

Please, I beg of thee

I bow before all the court

“Luna de mort”!

A million,

or trillion, I plea!  

Tease me!

Blanket me!

From all of the pain

For tears are empty

My mind holds plenty

Sole survivor

I be

Set sail on my ship

As the words start to slip

Serenity, is the flavor of this sea

Calmness…

Peaceful…

Drifting away

My imagination

And me

I didn't get it until the last few lines. I bow to your cleverness. Imagination and fantasy keep us sane- thank you, Steve, for pointing out this basic truth. Many stars for Steve.
