Kauai by Moonlight

A full moon, New Year—Kauai, bathed in her light. Dancing her wildnessacross the landscape of my soul. Does she need me?Do I need her? I wish there were a wayto capture this moonlit moment—the grace of her raysbeaming through the windows,beckoning, teasing to be caught. Waking me in a warm sweat,turning me on,tuning me intoContinue reading “Kauai by Moonlight”
