a pond at night
full of magic, reflected,
untouchable
but so close-
you stick a toe
in the middle of the moon,
it's cold,
you get used to it,
you stick a finger in
a couple stars,
it's cold
you get used to it,
pretty soon you're
three feet under and
unable to escape
all because
you wanted to touch
the moon
love always,
laura elizabeth.
Holy cow, I'm dying here. You are the epitome of brilliant. I love love love this poem. I can really relate with it. And as I read it I was there. I felt the soft breeze on my wet skin, and I smelt the mossy water as I touched the moon. But more importantly, I learned. I realized the mistakes I've made. All because of curiosity.
