La Dama e la Luna

By Bud Koenemund

A 100 Word Story

For Lindsay

  She moves like a dream, free of daylight cares; her dress billowing in the breeze. Shadow and light dance across her face, teasing her beauty as she twirls; hidden, then revealed in turn. She is perfection in the sun; but here she is more… she is magic. Almost angelic. Immortal in memory.
  The lady and the moon are twins – one reflecting light, the other emanating it from within – and all the stars in infinite heaven envy them; wishing they could be nearer such grace.
  She inspires both lunacy and peace at once. A solace found in the maelstrom of life.
