Dramatic moon glows high above the emerald mountains Shimmering dreams of celestial romance fade to soft sparkles Pierces the darkness in glorious rays of hopeful beams Starlight whispers fall across the bleached branches of autumn Once glistening with scarlet, tangerine and butternut golds Starry skies reveal the luminous forest of naked limbs Shadows laugh through the murky darkness, inviting nightmares Silent dreams haunt the hearts who listen to the peace of nightfall Black illusions drift across the soul with heavy handed doubt Luna longings surface on the silent feelings breaking through Soft rays of illuminating grace cascade along the woods edge Brilliant breaths of rippling streams rise to fill the hungry desires Nocturnal melodies flow up through the oaks, birch and pines Hues of joy pour over melancholy of a dark foreboding Music lingers on the heart who knows this is evening’s genius
