Dancing With the Moon

Tonight, I enter the wood The black tar of night envelops me Winter creeps up my spine Making its way through my nerves Freezing at my fingertips All light is absent now Save for the glinting of Her yellowed lunar glow Off the frozen tundra That crunches beneath My bare, frostbitten feet Gazing at the sky, Her light washes over my features She enters my lungs She spreads through my blood I am chilled and enchanted Shall I dance with Her? She has already gripped my frail body With her luminescent fingers So I give in To her unconditional light My Moon, my love, my light I will waltz with Her into the night sky Away into the stars As she lifts me from my frozen feet Letting me abandon my mortality

Oh how beautifully lovely Kay, the way you wrote this sad or rapturous poem, depending on how you view the last line... Your first stanza is so captivating, as is the rest of your write. Fantastic imagery throughout and your last stanza is breathtaking literally and figuratively. Well done! Enjoyed!!
