The Boy Who Chased The Moon Poem by Victor Bucarizza

The Boy Who Chased The Moon

Rating: 5.0


Overhead it beamed
like the fluorescent lights
of the life he was running away from

He pondered too long of its beauty
too long that it reminded him of its fleeting

He'd leap off mountain tops
to find himself in the valley
with nothing but a halo glow of hope

He'd run along the shoreline though the waves would wash each step
Blinded by the lighthouse
his tenacious eyes remained unfazed

As the moon kissed the horizon
a small smile met his face;
it was not that his hands would catch it
but that his legs would never cease to try

Lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and insightfully penned with conviction, in poetic diction. A good depiction of perseverance, hope and faith. Faith keeps those that keep the faith. A good poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

An excellent portrayal of never losing sight of your dreams, holding onto hope and being undaunted by setbacks. A beautiful vision filled with creative imagery and giving an alluring thought to grasp onto. I too, loved the last stanza! Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
