Sassy Sprite

Neath pink cotton candy clouds, a blood-red sun sinks from sight. And Luna slowly ascends, sculpting shadows with Her light. The moon's mesmerizing rise is like a hypnotic trance. Luna is a sassy sprite, and muse to both song and dance. She adorns ebony space like an orchid in the sky. And when the moon's in full bloom, Her beauty warrants a sigh. Baying wolves pay Her homage, howling their melodic tune. And regale the Queen of Night, celebrating the full moon. Despite pitting skin and scars, Luna imbues hope to dreams. And on enchanted evenings, She dances on sparkling streams.

Awesome depiction of the moon, Emile. "Like an orchid in the sky. And when She is in full bloom Her beauty warrants a sign."

Totally original; love the imagry. I'd never thought of the moon as being an "orchid of the sky", nor as a Pixie. I'm floored.:) Masterfully penned, Emile! This certainly "warrants a sigh". Thank you! Mikki
