Leo's APED Prompt 5
MOON-LIT WATER SHINES....
Moon-lit water shines;
she sees herself on the bridge
having pushed a paper-boat
loaded with her dreams
slowly sailing
towards a brighter morning
when she would see the
reflection of a rising Sun...
She wonders
if her happy thoughts
would create some ripples
in the still morning waters..
No, she wouldn't be able
to witness the spectacle
'cos she hopes to have crossed
the bridge by then..
For now the moon shines
in all its glory and the
paper-boat sails ahead as
the sound of wind-chime
brings her out of reverie
she looks around
the darkness
Mind can't differentiate.
She did stand on that bridge.
The paper-boat she had created
and left on her side
had disappeared..
Ah, that's when the moon
knocked on her window glass
and she let the moon-beam
offer gleam to her dreams...

Leo's APED Pompt 4:
"Everything you can imagine is real" - Pablo Picasso
Shared with Haiku My Heart..
She draws frozen Moon
in the centre of the Sun;
imagination
Imagination;
a cool trick to bear the heat
of her reality...
