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!!
