Rising Sun, Rising Moon

Shooting the Moon Oh moon What have you done? Collecting penalties  On captured hearts.  Discarding them Once again.   Placed aside Till some later time When they may serve  Your purpose again.   You are no better than a common thief Betting on tricks in  blackjacket.  Playing hearts for fun.  Know this dear gambler of mine, The Ace of my heart Will not be played So easily.  Perhaps that was what you wanted, all along.  DRH Copyright 2021 Donna R Hedges

Safe Moon shine Peeking through.  Across my hand.   Silver glimmer Promise of Clarity Warmth Beauty.   Softly, gently Slowly. With great trepidation.   Fingers rake the folds.   A ray of light  Hope? Fear.   If I show my hand.  My greatest weakness.  Expose my heart.   Will I Be shot down? Again? Trust myself? I dare not.  For so often  I have been wrong.  All I know of love  Is that it hurts to give.   to receive.   Safe  on my shores Is where you’ll find me.   Releasing fabric.  Stepping back Into the dark Once more.   DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021
