Moon, Light That Celestial Path

Moon, Light That Celestial Path Moon, cast me into thy light this is a brightly loving night Disturb not moon's sweetly glow spirits, earth to heaven go Another realm beckons my soul called from a heavenly scroll Earth's lights will very soon dim my spirit races on to meet him Moon, gifter of passion's hope no longer in darkness I grope A brilliance now lights my way gives promises of eternal day Night darkness hides no more light beckons from eternity's door! Robert J. Lindley, 08-23-2014 note , This poem is dedicated to the poet and authoress of today's Poem of the Day and her poem titled: Ballad of Mistress Moon, by Eileen Manassian , which has been wisely chosen to be Poem of the Day.. An inspiration both in her writes, her charming ways and her great spirit!

As illumination grows stronger in the heart we less fear travel in Dark. This is what your celestial passion means for me Robert. Eileen is a glowing inspiration. J.A.B.

Robert....I'm SO SO honored and thrilled to read this BEAUTIFUL sonnet from you! I love writing in sonnet form, and you have written one that is so pleasing to the heart and mind. :) "Disturb not moon's sweet glow/spirits earth to heaven go." This, the essence of beauty and life...reaching and striving for something more....The dedication at the end is amazing! I will cherish it always. Blessings, to you! :) Would you allow me to direct those who read my work to this?
