Moonlight Prayers

Silence the moon With all its cravings for you, Seducing moments, crafting reasons Envisioning the time When you will be together at last, Erasing the fears, the tears Balancing laughter and grief, Stealing the heart, resembling Beautiful wings – firefly dreams Fantasies breathing out wonders, Into the shifting shadows, the inklings When moonlight reflects the image of grace – in its expression, glistening like inspiration, throwing off the bonds, freeing the spirit to sing, like a smile, a truth, the sweetest mile, traveled – a journey… beyond the whimsical, beyond the wistful, beyond the wishful – a journey for the heart to take… when all else fails, the moon rises once again, remembering its date with you, a heart who is true to the calling it’s song, a voice in light – soft and graceful, falling over the darkness, whispering praises to the One who made it rise – again, the night’s closest friend! Raise me up, out of the shadows – Risk my heart, - never my soul, although I know that there is a blessing coming – A blessing from the One who silences doubt, With the flaming sword of faith, The endless tears of hope, The music of breathless love, Poured out through the skies, the night – Never the victor, only the shadow of doubt, Left to erase the unbeliever’s prayers – Yet, there I be with Him .. forever free, Despite the moon and its night I’m freer than free, forever saved By the One who created me I’ll forever be thankful for the moon, Who was wise enough to guide me through the darkness… Like the grace that sustains, opens the way – To everlasting joy with the One who silences every worry. Let the moon grow bold and old – For I know the wisdom of letting go And the wonder of holding on forevermore!
