Light Moonlight

Moon of the night, I wish you could sing You're indispensable to my being, You guide me through this land, of sparrows and nightingales, over the bottle-green grass, rain or shine or snow; You're there every night and the wrens sing to you, contemplating you and pondering on their thirst; and in your eyes they see, a lovely face, for you have a face, like all moons, sometimes different but you have one face A face that illuminates.

Hi Ivo, nice to know you: I loved your tribute to the moon and birds. A lot to image. Thank you for your comment on my Masquerade. It's my first attempt at the Pleiades form. Welcome to the soup and keep on writing!

Ivo, You described the Natural Light, so beautifully. I like the Taunting moon, giving life to your path. Intriguing, and romantic, a beautiful sound....I imagine being in love inside, but... you've captured my undivided attention... xox~ Linda

In Chinese culture a moon face is considered beautiful. In north American culture we admire more defined characteristics. I enjoyed basking in your "Natural Light"
