Spoken Word Poetry Reading With Piano Accompaniment | Mother Moon | An Original Poem Written & Read by Ariana R Cherry
Mother Moon is an original poem written and read by author Ariana R Cherry. It is a spoken word poetry reading with piano accompaniment which Ariana also wrote and played herself. MOTHER MOON POEM We wait for the moon to rise to awaken our tired eyes. She leads us through the unseen darkness, as we wait for the warm light to materialize. The nighttime moon gives us hope, and protects us from nightmares and dreams. She's so much more than the image that we see in our favorite telescope. The moon lights up the dark nighttime sky, and means more than the science that we can see with our own naked eye. She's our protector in times of uncertainty and our compass when we can't find our way. The moon is everlasting, shining on eternally.

Spoken Word Poetry Reading: Who?
There seems to be so much that is raging through our nation and planet, and it is affecting the lives of our people everywhere... Who is responsible for the sickness and violence that is traveling throughout the world?
WHO?
"Our once blessed nation now lays
upon the cross being crucified…
But who is carrying the blood on their hands?"
Our entire earthly planet is being infected
with a contagious virus that disables our ability
to breathe, speak and separates us from
those that we love…
"But who unleashed the horror that
spreads rapidly throughout our planet?"
The all too malicious violence that
enrages our country
has engaged the faucet of tears to run
from our sorrowful eyes.
Our silent mouths open in shock
and utter despair,
disabling us to speak, making it difficult
to catch our breath.

Spoken Word Poetry: Christmas Poetry Reading: Missing You at Christmas
"Missing You at Christmas" Spoken Word Poetry is dedicated to anyone who is missing someone at Christmas this year.
"This year, the air is a little different,
even though the Christmas lights still shine just as bright
The year has been tough, filled with struggles, and maybe, not even laughing as much.
It is true, that this Christmas, may feel a bit strange without you,
But I’ll do my best and stay strong, and try not to be blue.
This year, all I can think of are the distant heartfelt memories,
as they play like an old record on repeat… "

Spoken Word Poetry: Halloween Series: The Lonely Lady in the Red-Hooded Cape
Down below, onto the earthly land,
a long dark haired middle-aged woman
dressed in a red-hooded cape
stands outside an old wooden loft with rusty shutters,
observing the night sky above.
Hidden behind her hood,
is a face, that has been aged way too soon…
Scars from life’s misfortunes written
across her cheeks,

Spoken Word Poetry Podcast: Behind Their Eyes Poetry Reading
Tune into the poetry reading, "Behind Their Eyes," read by Poet, Ariana R Cherry...
"We’ve been placed into a strange new world,
Where mouths and noses are covered,
Staying hidden and protected from an invisible sickness,
That brings on cold isolation.
For now, all we see are pairs of unfamiliar eyes in the places we go.
In this new society, we’ve become strangers
And potential threats, even to the people we know..."
