Moon, Light That Celestial Path

Moon, Light That Celestial Path

Moon, cast me into thy light
this is a brightly loving night
Disturb not moon's sweetly glow
spirits, earth to heaven go

Another realm beckons my soul
called from a heavenly scroll
Earth's lights will very soon dim
my spirit races on to meet him

Moon, gifter of passion's hope
no longer in darkness I grope
A brilliance now lights my way
gives promises of eternal day

Night darkness hides no more
light beckons from eternity's door!

As illumination grows stronger in the heart we less fear travel in Dark. This is what your celestial passion means for me Robert. Eileen is a glowing inspiration. J.A.B.

Robert....I'm SO SO honored and thrilled to read this BEAUTIFUL sonnet from you! I love writing in sonnet form, and you have written one that is so pleasing to the heart and mind. :) "Disturb not moon's sweet glow/spirits earth to heaven go." This, the essence of beauty and life...reaching and striving for something more....The dedication at the end is amazing! I will cherish it always. Blessings, to you! :) Would you allow me to direct those who read my work to this?
