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.

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"
