Moonlight Magic

Soft is the veil of the moon 
upon my face
illuminating my inner being 
filling me with wonder.

Silently I watch moonbeams
dancing, weaving patterns 
in silky slow motion 
over an endless sea. 

Oh, glorious moon 
will you weave your 
moonlight magic 
into my dreams? 

How you shimmer
under the midnight sky
caressing the edges 
of the earth.
Oh rare, stunning jewel
of brilliance
stars stare and admire you 
for have been set apart
from the rest. 

Now you rise 
in regal splendor, spreading 
your opalescent wonder
that sparkles like sequins 
on an elegant gown. 

Your sheer beauty shines
for all the world to see
keep shining, oh silvery moon
spread your luminous magic
o’er all the earth, as you have
from time immemorial 
from ancient of days.
