Johnette Loefgren Poet Rhyme

In a Flurry of Stars

In a flurry of stars
the exalted moon arises
admirers sigh,
and lie back in the pines.

  our minds at ease,
a cosmic breeze,
scatters stardust
past our dreamy eyes..........

I know I must have voted for the sun,
some long gone yesterday when I was young,
But now I choose to serenade the moon,
She generates a bright eternal force,
which keeps creative muses right on course,

Observe her all night long
and never feel,
the pain the burning sun
must needs reveal.

so pour us out a goblet gold of wine
some berried brew with bread and cheese
to share,

we'll watch for stars that shimmer in a line,
our constellations dancing in the air.

the sun I think is followed by the youth,
let's let them own the marrow of the day

but we know that there's beauty in the truth,
"The moon is ours" is what the lovers say.
