Slowly, silently now the moon

This is part of the NaPoWriMo - National Poetry Writing Month - 30 poems in 30 days..

Day One: Prompt - The first line of Walter de la Mare's Silver....

Slowly, silently now the moon
twirls, twists and dances
amidst her cloudy friends
lashing, longing and loving
happily swaying with the wind
that delightfully threatens
to take off without me..
Slowly, silently now the moon
flashbacks into memories
long forgotten,
into alleys dusty with neglect,
into desires buried deep
in the mire of frustratingly
helpless reality...
Slowly, silently now the moon
lifts me from my gracious gloom
and takes me for a joy ride
floating on clouds
that make me feel the joy
of knowing you,
of picking up the courage to let you go....
