Black Ocean
I live on the other
Side of the moon
Where I exhaled my
Last breath into the
Mouth of the
Black Ocean
Where I was smelted
Into a burning
Silver tidal wave
Of magnetic fields
Dispersed as
Paralyzed stars
And I am grateful
My time in the
Mirage of blue
Skies has died
It ached with a
Blinding brightness
Always feeling the
Graceful pull of
The water of night
High above ground
My black ocean savior
Filled with tragic magic
Showing me how to float
Behind the moon
Side of the moon
Where I exhaled my
Last breath into the
Mouth of the
Black Ocean
Where I was smelted
Into a burning
Silver tidal wave
Of magnetic fields
Dispersed as
Paralyzed stars
And I am grateful
My time in the
Mirage of blue
Skies has died
It ached with a
Blinding brightness
Always feeling the
Graceful pull of
The water of night
High above ground
My black ocean savior
Filled with tragic magic
Showing me how to float
Behind the moon
Author's Note
Just in a creative mood today.
Took my first watercolor class yesterday and painted a sun.
Didn't get to the moon yet so it has as been on my mind. Just a vivid vision I had while listening to this song. Had to write it down before it vanished:)

Wonderful. It felt massive with its expansive descriptions. But also a gentle knowledge of being at peace with it all. Very soothing.
Good luck with the water color classes!

Hi Styx,
Thanks for saying that. I've been in a chaotic mind frame lately so I needed to put my mind at peace. This song came on
and was just the medicine. It was peaceful writing.
Just went outside and saw the moon. Totally cool!!!!!

The fireflies were burning bright... :)))
I just love the contrast you draw between
light & dark...
The perspective that comes about
after having tasted both...
The validity & value of each side of the polarity...
Stanza I just killed...
The formate really works for this piece...
Awesome

Hey Cipher,
They were burning. LOL
So glad you enjoyed it.
You did kill that stanza showoff. LOL
There is value and validity for both sides. Both have
their own super powers when it comes to inspiration
for me. Sometimes I feel like Superwoman needing energy
from the sun and other times the night brings me a quiet
setting for writing.
Both such great elements to dip my pen in. LOL
Thanks for the RL and stopping by for a comment:)

Your imagery is amazing, I could feel the exhale of the last breath and see the Black Ocean with silver waves bathed
in the magnetic fields of the moon surrounded by paralyzed stars. Such incredible magic you weave, thank you for painting
this breathtaking picture for me and drawing me in completely. You are definitely an artist.

Hi Kristina!!
Thank you for saying that. I just have
this whole scene in my head and just did the best
I could to jot it down before it disappeared.
So glad you got drawn in to this write and enjoyed.
Love when I can connect with people and can take them
somewhere else for a moment.

There was a movie or song titled the other side of the moon, this makes us think of that. There is comfort in the darkness, in the unknown. Few realize that night is day's lover with dawn and evening being their off springs, Tight one Lady

There's something both elemental and intimate, personal and ubiquitous, to the way you pain the milieu that is love and enchanting and hints to life experience, musings of time and tide. Beautiful work.

Well hello Daniel:)
So glad you enjoyed this. I think as you age you come to appreciate
the passing of time. Enjoying the evolution of the day and night.
Just never know what is going to happen - and if the worse is to come
I'm at the age of acceptance. Not that I want to go anywhere - but I've got a happy life. Accomplished a few things I thought I never would.

I know what you mean in my way. I was thinking of my best friend last night, he passed away 5 years ago. Looking back across such lengths of time, of loss and friendship, gives me a kind of vertigo, like when you look down from a great height, but I draw comfort daily from the slow, steady cycles of time and seasons.

People come in our lives and shine amigo. I've know my best friend since the 7th grade. Still very close. Just spoke to her yesterday actually. Friendships are like treasures for sure!!
When we are heartbroken the world still keeps turning - and honestly
thank god. I'd hate to be still in that frozen moment. Need that nudge to remember to move:)

Dear A,
I loved the image of merging life forms this created for me. In my head I envisioned the sun morphing into a huge wave then into the moon and stars. Nothing was its own separate thing it just became the other when it was time. This is a fantastic write allowing for many different thoughts and you’re formatting made for an easy flow of reading. Loved it. H🌷

Hi H!!
Sorry for the late response. Crazy schedule going on at home.
Thank you for commenting on this. I was looking up last night
and just thought how the night sky does remind me of a black ocean. I even saw a couple of airplanes in the sky. Kinda thought of
them as boats just sailing along. LOL So glad you enjoyed this.
