Notes About The Poem

Moonlight Fades

When moonlight fades from flower and rose
Sweet mystery of dawn unfolds
Now all the dreams of night will pale
Wafting into lilac shadows

As tapestry of daylight grows
Rainbows linger in the dew
Stirring nature and earth to wake
As birdsong trills a new day glows

Sun rays in forest light transpose
We long to keep this morning calm
Yet plans start spinning in our minds 
No time to gaze on peaceful willows

Forget the brilliant lure of Nature’s shows
Or daylight spun from pinks and golds
There will be many more tomorrow’s.

Hello Suzanne … a nice positive verse to bring on a morn, but of course we need more than this for the day, but as you wrote, there will be more tomorrows when this virus succumbs - thanks Suzanne - Lindsay

“We long to keep the morning calm yet plans start spinning in our minds” .... I love mornings like this ... you want to enjoy it as it is, yet the beauty of it inspires one to conjure up the next adventure. I enjoyed the flow of this one.

Thanks so much, Vijay: This Covid-19 social distancing has enticed my Muse from hiding. Two poems in two days is an unprecedented record for me these past 4 years. Maybe the tide has turned. Appreciate your encouragement, always. SuZ

Love the imagery Suzanne, hopefully there will be many more tomorrows when this crisis is over. Good luck. Stay safe. Tom

My hopes too, Tom: I know if we follow the guidelines we will all make it through. I heard the countries that have malaria have fewer cases of Covid”19, as the chloroquine kills the virus. Time to get back on gin and tonics I think. SuZ
