Sometimes You Can Feel A Long Way From Home

Standing on the Moon .. So Far Away From Home - A Nightcafe Creation By The Author

Introduction

This is another sonnet inspired by my Muse, and I want to weave her into the feelings for this beautiful Grateful Dead song. it feels almost sad, but like the album this comes from, we were built to last.

On a request from another Creator, I have updated this sonnet.

πŸŒ•πŸŒ–πŸŒ—πŸŒ˜πŸŒ”πŸŒ“πŸŒ’πŸŒ‘πŸŒ‘πŸŒ’πŸŒ“πŸŒ˜πŸŒ—πŸŒ”πŸŒ–πŸŒ•

Standing On The Moon, Queen Of Oceans Blue

Watching Your Subjects, Mermaids And Sirens

Selkies and Tritons Give Their Deference

To Their Queen, Far Away, Still Being True

πŸŒœβ™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸŒ›

Standing On The Moon, Heart Aching For Home

You See Your Realms, And You Must Soon Return

Your Heart Is Pounding, Homesick, It Does Burn

The Moon Will Ne’er Again Make You Alone

πŸŒœβ™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸŒ›

Your Magic Returns, Your Spells Now Are Cast

The Ocean Queen Answers Her Mermaids’ Call

Flight From The Moon To Her Ocean Palace

Her Subjects Rejoice, Together And All

πŸŒœβ™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸŒ›

Selkies, Tritons, Mermaids, Sirens Are Massed

To Praise Queen Herophile, She Is Now Home

πŸŒ‘πŸŒ’πŸŒ“πŸŒ˜πŸŒ—πŸŒ”πŸŒ–πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ–πŸŒ—πŸŒ˜πŸŒ”πŸŒ“πŸŒ’πŸŒ‘
