A childhood fear made right
Mr. Moon by Katiemae1977
🌖 writing prompt entry

 
I dared to walk this moonlit night
remembering my days gone past 
when Mr. Moon gave me a fright
as I lay watching on the grass.
 
His face upon the cold white sphere 
was big, and booming was his voice.
And when he spoke I quaked with fear
as in his spell I had no choice.
 
I can't recall the words he used 
or why he chose to speak to me 
The memory is so confused 
I hoped this walk would set me free.
 
I dared look up and turn my gaze
but look I did, and through some clouds
the moon was cloaked in milky haze
It's beauty decked in ivory shrouds.
 
"Oh, Mr moon!" I said aloud
"Your beauty reigns this solemn night
I do beseech please make me proud
and take from me this wretched fright."
 
A silence split the midnight air
and peaceful crickets chirped their tune
I offered up a simple prayer
An ode to praise the quiet moon.
 
And now I walk this wond'rous night
A smile upon my aging face 
There's finally no more raging fright 
'neath Mr. Moon's redeeming grace

Author Notes
A true story. I used to lay on the grass in my yard while the moon talked to me. I used to refer to it as movies in the sky

Still a bit traumatized, I'm having trouble looking at the photo I choose
