Night is a lovely time to walk and muse and commune with God.

I usually had my two big dogs with me but since they have passed on I miss my late night walks.

The Goddess of the Moon looked down, Upon the quiet garden. She watched night creatures at play, The owl, raccoon and marten, Seeking as they do each night, Their simple, humble fare, And smiled as she watched them, The breeze catching her hair. The silver strands float all about, Her visage so exciting. So ethereal, so mystical, Her crystal gaze enticing. I come each night to watch her dance, While everyone is sleeping, And all is quiet, peaceful, still, The lovely maid comes sweeping, Silver streaks of moon light, Through town and wood and glen; Then morning comes and she is gone, Till moon rise comes again.

Great poem, Judy. Moonlight is magical, and we are lucky to have our Selene.

This is beautiful, Judy...delightful imagery and personification. In our Maltese language the moon is a male! ~ Regards // paul

I adore poetry about the moon, add in a goddess and I'm all yours! This one touched me and for that I thank you! Selene? Is it Greek or Roman? I know it's one or the other. Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed your poem today.
