Running with the Moon

About the Book

Many claim love can be exalted in many ways. Interestingly, Running with the Moon is an evasive and favorable collection of love poetry. As an illustration, a boy is running alongside the woods, parallel with the moon. The boy represents the challenges with love; he is growing from a boy into the stages of a man. Let’s examine: when I was a child, my brother and I were constantly amazed by how the moon followed us while we were walking or even running. Still, the equivocal thoughts never cease to rattle one’s mind as a child. In the adult stage, you find out it’s your gravitational pull. In essence, urban life, and the anger of it, is very much depicted in this book, an experience that keeps the reader guessing. With satisfaction, there is never a dull moment of poetry. Gray paints further along, even with his experiences in animal life. Running with the Moon also includes “Daily Task” and “Gia and the Ghost.”
