moonlight stanzas

full moon---
a cat peeps
from the bushes

night breeze--
ruffles my hair
into smiling

silver of the moon on the darkness of the sky. darker still outlines of trees near and far and me a dark silhouette pacing amongst all this finery. Walking to beats thumping from the headphones, enjoying the contrast, being here and yet also there. Walking in circles, again and again till one steps into the zone and eyes close to make the moment absolute.

Walking in moonlight is always such pleasure!

beautiful moonlight stanzas indeed, gulnaz. i've been dying to walk out of my home into that patch of light that always hits the same spot come evening.

i've missed your words; so sorry to have been absent. things have been too busy as of late. xx.

..ruffles my hair
into smiling"

is a beautifully succint way to capture this scene and feeling of mystery, freedom, otherness...and sensuality - like fingers run through your hair

hmmm, finding absolute moments
in stillness of one's own shadow, accompanied by mellifluous music of silence,
sprinkled with full moonlight and
and cool breeze;
ah! supreme peace!

I like the playful quality especially of 'ruffles.'

Moonlight is also one of my favorite things and Moonlight sonata by Beethoven is even better :-)
