"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and it has made all the difference." ---Robert Frost

The moonlit blanket beckons onward,
Flashing dimples that alight the sky,
With velvety cloak of midnight blue
Draped 'bout thy shoulders guide---
To defy the tendrils of piercing light
That spear one's body persevered,
And envelop such in its arms
Where nothing can stoke thy fear;
Yet should it crumble, lest forgotten,
The world shan't come to end,
For always lays enlightened sky
Just 'round the orbit's bend.

The author's comments:
It was the written word itself that had inspired me. It is my haven from the world, the place where I can actually be me. In poetry, I am but an extension of the word, the transmitter from mind to parchment.
