Adorned In Pink Organza

Searching the twilight horizon
For signs she's on her way
As I anticipate her rising
Have felt like this all day
The cloud begins to gather
Betwixt the sea and sky
I welcome her arrival
She makes my spirit fly
Just as I start to doubt
That tonight she will come out
A delicate glow  
A glow I know 
Rises from the sea
Just like the Goddess Amphitrite
Adorned in pink organza 
As if she wants to dance all night
Resplendent in her glittering gown
Her dazzling light is beaming down 
This ballerina of the sky
I do not blink ~ I am wide eyed
I'm moonstruck and I'm mesmerised
To see such wonder with my eyes
Her beauty seeps inside my soul
I hear sweet music all around
My head is spinning to the sound
For now I'm in another place
Moonbeams lighting up my face
Gazing at this Super Moon
I swoon ~ I may not be back soon…

Written 8th May 2020 ~ after witnessing the hypnotic beauty of the Super Moon
