Moonstruck Poem by Charles Garcia

A poem should be as motionless
As the moon seems to be,
Standing still as it climbs,
So pleasing to the eye.
A poem should be true to our vision,
But not necessarily true;
An interpretation of my message to you,
For each of us has a different view.
A poem doesn't have to mean, but to be
The meaningful thoughts it conveys
To you and to me.
The words sometimes hidden, spinning round
Then, all of a sudden, like light, the words are found.
To pen and paper the words go down,
The wonderful thoughts once embedded in our head.
