The response photograph ~ an Haiga, at the end of this post, is now the correct image for Spark 14.  The image originally posted on that site was posted in error and has now been amended for me, by Amy ~ the creator of the Spark concept ~ and I thank her here.

moon dance

Response

if not for the Moon

would there be no tides?

no gentle surf to wade in

or raging seas to fear?

.

if not for the Moon

dancing with the Sea

would She retreat

or unleash Her greatest fury?

.

the Moon will always be

companion to the Sea

pulling Her closer to Him

if ever She tries to break free

the magic of a day

Inspiration piece

.

.

the sun came up

shining her love upon the world

warming hearts and souls

.

clouds passed by for a very short while

shedding tears of joy upon the green earth

.

a rainbow smiled

spreading her beauty

far and wide from hill to hill

.

the morning wind danced

with the trees in the forest

to sweet melodies sung by the birds

.

bees snuck kisses from flowers

while butterflies tickled their leaves

and fat furry catapillars giggled in delight

.

the sea waved hello to the rivers

as they rushed to greet her

happy to be coming home

.

the fish did as fish do

and swam in circles

playing tag or hide-and-seek

.

after a long day

the sun warmed the oceans with her parting rays

as she settled down to rest

.

the evening breeze hummed a faint tune

while the night was busy

wrapping the world in his safe embrace

.

the moon just smiled

when the stars peeked out

and began to twinkle one-by-one

.

then it all started over again…

the sun came up

shining her love upon the world

.

the entire time

i thought about you

~~~
