Moon, Girl and Wind --

By Aimee

(Standard requests to keep your hands to yourself and leave my writing alone apply.)

The moon hung low in the dark, midnight sky
The wind howled mournfully ‘cross the dark moor
And the silent maid stood, with a tear in her eye
Alone in the small cottage door

And the poor maiden cried at the moon in the sky
“Alas, I yearn to be like unto thee
For you must have seen the whole world, but I-
I sit alone, and afraid, for you see,
That he’s gone, and I fear he may die!”

The moon heard not the girl, and beseeched the wind
“Cease your dread howling, you fiend!
Can you not see that my progress you hinder”
But the wind ceased not to keen

On that cold, windy night when the girl, wind and moon
All communed for a moment, though slight
The wind spoke up softly, its feelings quiet hurt
And asked of the heavens a boon
“Oh, moon,” The wind moaned, wrapping ‘round a dead tree
“I beseech thee to, please, treat me kind.
The clouds and the birds would be naught without me
And you’d grow to miss me, I think you would find”

The moon, girl and wind soon parted ways
The moon slowly fell, and the sun soon awoke
The wind turned gentle in the sun’s golden rays
And the girl was abed, like all normal folk

Here, dear reader, is an original poem by myself. It's just something I wrote in the middle of the night, when the words refused to leave me alone. I hope you enjoyed reading it, as I enjoyed writing it, and found some meaning in it.

My writing has been slow for the last few days. I haven't done anything productive in days, mostly because all my time has been spent away from the house. But, tonight, I have all the time in the world to write. I intend to do something productive, such as working on my fantasy novel. I've reached a crucial part in the plot, where the main character finally tells his love interest a terrible secret about his past. It's exciting! I've been waiting twenty some chapters for this to happen! Want to know the secret he tells her? Well, too bad! If you want to find out, you'll have to read my novel when I finally get it published!

So, I think I'd best stop updating my blog and get down to some writing.
