Prompt 10 and Poem 10 “Optimism, Resilience and Dancing with Moonshadows” by Ingrid Exner Half Marathon 2020

When I was young,

I sang of dancing with

moon shadows and,

I did.

 

Through operations,

I danced and sang to the Lyrics

of Optimism, Resiliency and,

Bouncing Back.

 

As I grew older, I began to forget

the Meaning behind the Lyrics-

the Message behind the Song.

 

When greater shadows returned.

The song was sung to me-

And, I remembered who I was and,

Who I AM-

Resilient!

    1. Thank you Varenyas! Hearing this CAt Stevens song again brought back some wonderful camping memories from childhood and even working as a camp counsellor in my teens. Its funny how we sing the songs in our childhood/teens seeing it one way and then realizing te rue mastery of the song in our adulthood and middle age.

    1. Thanks Meredith! I still don’t know whether I will choose to submit this one or The Season of The Birds. I am submitting a short one…probably My Recipe: Jumping For Joy (as it is short) and then a longer poem.
