Moon

Mysterious orb of silvery light
please shine down on me tonight.

Fill me with your wondrous light
whisper to me your secrets this night.

Do not seek the cover of clouds
I need your light with all its shrouds.

Paint the world with glorious light rays
and light up all the deeply hidden bays.

Moon, oh dear moon blessed you be
always light up the right way for me.

Shadow, I had to check out your "Moon" write here. I like your couplet here very much. Your poem is both simple and direct but quite powerful with the imagery you've used. Excellent Work!! and a "7" from me. Cheers, Gary
