As the Moon Sets

As the Moon Sets                         

in a quiet place you have found me, sighing
a tranquil morning of pastel that sees you blushing
I sit serene in your healing feminine fellowship
letting the gift of this moment reverberate within

link my spirit to your divine senescence cadence
as the goddess of rebirth swirls amid interlaced tales
no sacrifice laid but flowers sweetest perfume
infuse my instincts with your imbued woman wisdom

your silver tendrils enfold the sent suspended wishes
delivered on wings in prayers of innocent pleas to thee
found weeping against the night’s ebony emptiness
you bless their broken promises with gifts of hope

as you fade from my respite of morning’s vision
erased in the glow of sunrises drowning drumbeat
heaven still waltzes in your arms amid stars opulence
as does the kiss of dew upon delicate lips of roses

I so look forward to the full moons...and those months when she sets over the bay as the sun rises...I used to have a rose the same colors.
