Chiseled Shadows

by Mary Rogers-Grantham

Last night
I dreamed I chiseled
the edge of the moon
and watched flaming
silver gems float
through midnight. Like
prehistoric rhythms
spawning uncharted paths
to the shoulders of the Earth.
I love the way they dance―
pulsing forth, back and forth
like tempestuous dancers,
dramatic art in motion.

On the edge of a cinematic dream,
I hug it awake.
