A Lonely Moon

A lonely crescent moon
shines shyly from above 
and brings me dreams of love
as distant crickets croon
their soulful summer tune;
‘tis her I’m thinking of.

She wanders ‘cross the sky 
in flowing moonbeam gown
alone while looking down
from heavens way up high.
Yet still I wonder why
you never see her frown

for lonely as she seems 
her tender beauty beams.

"You never see her frown" Oh my ! That is because "her tender beauty beams" Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. This is beautiful and dreamy, all at the same time. :) Hugs, Brandy

The moon’s smile is never upside down, we should all keep this same smile on our faces. Lately I have to remind myself of this. My best to you, Brandy. Hugs.

The moon holds many secrets, she knows all that happens in the darkness of the night; oh the stories that she could tell. Thanks for your comments, Ann, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hugs, John
