After writing my recent Poem in Response, inspired by reading “The Dance“, a wonderful poem penned by the beautiful Floridian poetess, Holly Hunter, I wrote this follow-up poem…
Sharing the stars
Embracing time
Awake until twilight
Two hearts in tow
Drawn by the moon
Through waves of love, delight

Morning Dance, by Spyro Gyra (1979)
Having read “The Dance“, written by the talented and lovely Floridian poetess, Holly Hunter – in which a beautiful redhead at the Sad Café holds the light of her heart in her hand – I was inspired to write this poem…
Rhythm in waves
They found the beach
To make the moon their own
Two hearts as one
One dance in sync
In love, never alone

Update: I’ve added a second writing, Poem in Response: Part II.

Flor d’Luna (Moonflower), by Santana (1977)
After reading “Não Há Metades” (Portuguese, meaning “There Are No Halves”) by Carla Milho – a very talented writer, lovely lady and good friend from Lisbon, Portugal – I was inspired to write this poem…
Your magic charms
Have captured me
Now, what am I to do
You warm my heart
I can’t escape
Feelings I know are true
So far away
I want you near
Sharing time hand in hand
That we may kiss
On moonlit beach
And lay down in the sand

Illumination
Moonlight stirs natures spirit
In waves on the sand

Beach Comber
Water rolls in with the moon at high tide, as stars flicker behind a curtain of space.
I can sleep through this dream until morning, then collect seashells and treasures of ships sunken centuries ago.
The beach is my tomorrow. The moonlight, a distraction.

Enjoy this digital painting, featuring a half-moon and glowing lamp post with an evening sun setting over the horizon. Based on a collage I made using Adobe Photoshop and Filter Forge. Available on a variety of items in my galleries at Fine Art America and Society 6 – check it out…
Last evening, a full moon cast its glow through the blinds of my window and into my living space. So, I grabbed my camera and stepped out on to the balcony to take some photographs. This morning I downloaded the pictures, selected an image and went to work on my computer – this is the final result, now available in my galleries at Redbubble, Society 6 and Fine Art America. Thanks for stopping by.
