Monsters And Fairies

Magic feels possible in the moonlight, as shifting shadows morph into grotesque caricatures, slip-sliding in and out of reality; at the fringes of believability. Enchanted by the allure of moonbeams children unleash their imaginations, to pursue fanciful flights of exaggeration. For monsters and fairies tethered to the shadows of night seem ubiquitous in the moonlight! Luna is an incorrigible sprite: muse to artists and minstrels alike, She traverses the fabric of time and space. And yet, unlike Sol's intense light, Luna's aura softly glows. Endowing Man with nocturnal sight Her light beams from the heavens, and dances upon sparkling streams.

Luna inspires love poems and songs and intimacy of romance as you have expressed so beautifully Emile. Yet she also has her dark side. A very lovely entry for this contest. Congratulations on your first place win! :-)
