You Stood
by
Moondustwriter

You were the first thing I climbed

I was but a girl

pretending you were my horse

your stood firmly

playing along

You stood proudly by

watching as I grew

I rode that mare

and was thrown

You never laughed

There came the day

I was too bold

approaching an angry bull

you stood offering safety

a strong arm

You opened your gates wide

 my first time

mastering the blue truck

you stood smiling 

at my success

You stood sagging

 I waved "goodbye"

pulling my mare and memories

behind the blue truck

"come home soon'

you wanted to say

Thank you to my friend James Bengel for this beautiful shot "The Eyes Have It"

My trademark may be the Moon "question of the week". We would love for you to share an early memory of you as a writer or of someone who encouraged you to write. You can read my "memory" in the comments.

The Vortex of Passion 
by
Moondustwriter

Take a breath - please

caught

reeled in

forgetting

the danger

Look away - Please

mesmerized

by something that isn't real

magnetized

to the pull

Look around - PLEASE

see

the horizon

reality

something to hold on to

Draw Back - PLEASE
before you are
sucked
into the vortex
of passion

Where
passion appears

to be

Everything...

Thanks Liebe Dich for the photo of  The Storm
