Lunar Poem

She climbed high into

The night on a staircase of

Stars to see the world.

    My daughters and I have been star gazing since lockdown began. This poem really struck me. We have been climbing to the stars and seeing more of the world, for the beauty that it is. Beautiful words xxx

    That’s fantastic!! I am taking it as- she found her way even in the darkest night using the right resources. Your perspective might be different from mine😊. I am I. Complete aww of this one.

      Love your perspective on this! One of the best things about writing is no one ever sees what you have written the same way as yourself. 🙂

    Ooooh!!! I really like this one. This reminded me of the comet that passed by earlier this week. Sometimes, we need to be in such an elevation to see the whole picture below us, the earth. I always enjoyed that especially when I was on a plane! Hope we can go back to those days soon.

      Me to! Because of the trees around me, I always make sure to go up to an overlook when I know there is an eclipse. I saw a lovely super-moon once, and that is what inspired this haiku. 🙂
