Goddess of the Night

Where Luna treads are silver threads, the wisps of clouds that slide
through sky of night, and shining white, they part so she might glide
serenely through dark twilight’s blue with slow and regal grace.
And to our world, with aspect pearled, she turns a beaming face.

She casts her glow on those below who love her mystery. . .
who reverence her as with allure, she dances on the sea.
The lovers sigh as by and by, the night fades into day.
And in their dreams she softly gleams before she slips away.

I just saw this as an example in Joseph May's contest and was taken with your rhyme and meter. Beautiful poem that flows freely. On my fave list.

This is a true delight, Andrea. Love your internal rhymes and perfect rhythm, reading the second stanza reminds me of date nights with my wife watching moonrises over the bay. Congratulations on your first place win with Caren, definitely a FAV for me!

Andrea, the way you have weaved these thoughts with hymn meter makes it feel so lyrical and would be so easy to put to melody...not that it need be, it creates its own.
