Celestial Dance

The moon slid far across the skies It sparkled in her sleepy eyes The moonbeams laughing as they danced To keep her in their light entranced With a brilliant rush they lift her right Into the dotted swiss of night And toss her high from star to star While moonlight watches from afar In perfect stride and harmony Across the neon sky goes she She waltzes on a comet's tail Until the tides of night grow pale And as the beckoning dawn draws nigh Her eyes grow weary and with a sigh She catapults from the moon's embrace Back into bed she takes her place

so lyrical and lovely, a sparkling dance indeed, love "the dotted swiss of night"; a breath of fresh air in amongst many of the 'heavier' pieces in my contest - congrats on your win! :)

Had the feeling you were describing a little girl whose imagination was running free as she tried to fall asleep. Enjoyed reading your entry for Barbara's contest and I wish you good luck. Best to you, Diane
