Halloween Challenge: Moon

Here is day 25 of JNW’s Halloween Challenge: Moon

[Begin scene]

The man in the moon looks down from the sky,

From this vantage point he begins to cry…

Why are they hurtful, why are they so mean,

These people of Earth, yes lots I have seen…

Somewhere among them I long to find,

All that are loving, all that are kind…

So share a kind word, find someone to love,

Be the good person he is speaking of…

If you can do this, even just try,

I know he will see you next time he flies by.

[End scene]

Hopefully ‘a good person’ is already part of your identity.

Scene: Golden Dunes,Green Lands

[Begin scene]

Mountains break along the horizon, giving the blue sky a jagged edge…

A small stream flows nearby, the water cool and swift…

Huge golden sand dunes rise up from the ground here, seemingly out of place…

Atop them looking around one can imagine being in a vast desert…

The comforts of a green and pleasant land surround the dunes entirely creating a surreal experience.

[End scene]

The identity of this place is Great Sand Dunes National Park located in Colorado, U.S. If you are state side and get the chance, definitely visit this unique place.

Scene: A Moment Bright

[Begin scene]

A breezy morning, everything damp from a night of rain…

The sun shining bright, rays passing through autumn trees…

Clouds race from the west, intent on reaching the east horizon…

Brightness vanishes into the thick rolling clouds, gray settles upon the land…

A different beauty, as life giving rain falls once again.
