Valsa George Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Death and a Coronation

Over the west Sun dies, oozing blood, 
The hillside glows in a ruddy blaze, 
Pink and crimson fade slowly around, 
And a pallid shade taints the twilight haze.

By and by, darkness descends like foggy mist, 
Wrapping the Earth in a blanket of gloom
And God turns on his ornate chandeliers
To illumine the world in effulgent gleam

Attended by a cortege of starry maids
The Full Moon arrives in her glowing raiment
Evading the amorous presence of clouds 
She enthrones herself before the royal regiment

So glad she is in her princely state
And in her fair mien, she takes delight
Bards and lovers have often been mesmerized
By such charm surpassing all that is bright

Beaming, she gives the night its nocturnal glee
Beckoning us heavenward to gaze and praise.
With benign grace and regal grandeur she smiles
On kings and clowns and on all the human race

She changes her contours with every unleashing night
Constantly renewing and reveling as a glamorous queen
She leaves the world aglow beneath the blue sky
Lending the night its unrivaled celestial sheen

Anil Deo April 14, 2022 at 6:04 AM the vocabulary and title speak to me of Jesus, but in veiled form. Maybe its just Easter vibes, from heven? From disciples of today? shalom, shalom dear Sis. Happy @Easter@ resurrection weekend.
