Moonbeams Love Song

Moonbeam's Love Song

Moonlight waifs into the shrouded garden
shimmering on the still, quiet pond
A bench built near the lily pad offerings
a restful place for love’s spirits to bond

A white dress glows among the shadows
soft now against the graying light
as greens dissipate as if in mourning
escaping from the specters of the night

Back set against the softening tree’s bark 
arrested in the melody of moonbeams song
drifting away to another time and place
where love’s inner essence is never alone
