Clair de Lune

In a dream
a starlit adventure with no compass
and strange encounters and perils
of every kind-
and unknown world opens up
like a music box in an ancient attic-
a story unfolds
and tells of uncharted lands
and undiscovered maps etched in my being

The piano plays
and I begin to dream-
my wings pull me upward
but my roots plant my feet on the ground
ripped in half
gravity pulls me down
earthbound by reality
whenever the world fails to listen to my tune…
so I join the stars and my dreams
as they call out to me
upon the clear light of the moon

    Do you know that I think your writing is getting better and better everyday?!
    It didn’t seem possible at first but every time I read a new piece of yours I am completely bowled over and reminded once again that before me is an individual so talented that I seriously doubt you are of anywhere from this world…

  • Mikyle! are you serious?!?! :D your comment just leaves me completely speechless! I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say this before, or even imagined being told that I am so talented that I may not be of this world…..that is the most amazing, awesome, beautiful compliment I’ve ever been told in my life. You are amazing, my friend. And it’s an honor to have you say this, because I seriously think you are someone who’s mind is not of this world as well. xxxx

    I’ve never been more serious… You my friend have an amazing path ahead of you.
    You are a special one Erika. I can feel it.

  • Oh Mikyle, you’re going to make me cry. I can feel you mean what you say all the way over here where I’m sitting….and I really don’t know what to say, my friend. No one’s ever told me anything like this before and it’s quite startling in a good way. But just so you know, I think the same of you…..you’ve got amazing things to give to the world as well. xx
