Lady of the Moon

Stepping out of the woods Twigs snap breaking the silence underneath my feet I see the darkness shrinks when the moon smiles The light of a lover's beam, the warmth of your love illuminates My thoughts are instantly wrapped up in your blanket of stars Sprinkled across the Milky Way, glazed with honey all over Lady of the Moon, you return to earth for one visit Shadows fade when you appear within a circle of radiance I feel at ease as I hear your voice fills the silent night Gentle echoes rippling in the wind, it carries your message in a serenade Landing lovely images in my mind In my deepest memory you lay down your name Once a long lost echo, now found inside this space In the cradle of the lunar lullaby, you stand before me Dressed in pearl silk satin, your smile, an ivory white I become drawn to you, a lifetime of treasures in one glance You are the mysterious beauty who makes me smile Beaming beautiful in silver candlelight, I whisper your name Somewhere on a cold winter's night, a lonely wolf admires the same moon Looking on with misty eyes, a thirst and hunger grows from within It howls a signal into the distance, searching for love In a hollow valley, where echoes do not bounce back Where starlight cries and leaves a trail of red fiery dust Dampened by the teardrops of morning dew, the moon disappears a co authoured piece by Liam Mc Daid and Angeline Lim Unrhymed sestet
