Tender Hearts
I awoke to the moon,
like a giant, celestial snail creeping
across the night sky,
leaving a sparkling trail of light
in her wake.
Haunting the trees
with silver ghosts
and half forgotten memories
of full moons
and hard stars
and tender hearts.

Ah, that is lovely. Reminds me a bit of ‘Silver’ by Walter de la Mare. Your poem creates a wonderful ethereal atmosphere and those last three lines are inspired. I really don’t know how you maintain such a high standard 🙂
Aw, Shucks…. 🙂
