Poetry from Sidnei Rosa da Silva (one of two)

Ladybug’s Journey To The Moon 

In moon’s soft light, a starlit harbor fell,

Across the beaches, I did bravely dwell,

Of mermaids dreaming, on the rocky shore,

My solitude’s cliff, a letter life implore.

I challenged tides, the ocean’s depths I’ve seen,

A swirling chaos, a nature’s vibrant scene.

The fire yearns to cross, the wind to softly blow,

Across the landscapes, where gentle breezes flow.

“In time,” the wise man said, “the curve pursue,”

Upon the waves, your destined path renew,

Until the dunes, you find your resting place,

Incandescent lady, with your artificial grace.

Tonight I’ll stay, no sleep will claim my eyes,

This dream’s embrace, I won’t let it pass by.

One wish remains, a touch, a face so near,

Life’s hand to hold, dispelling every fear.

The road is long, the search may cause alarm,

But my heart’s compass, keeps me safe and warm.
