Moonlight's Song

As I opened my eyes,
And rose to my feet,
I noticed the moon,
Shining down upon me.

It tousled my hair,
Beams toying with chestnut strands,
And it sang to me,
A melancholy sound of delight.

I moved closer, entranced,
The moonlight drawing me in,
The sweet sounds of the night,
Everlastingly bright.

And Luna continued to sing,
Asking for my hand in a dance,
And we twirled and sang as one,
Till dawn broke, bringing sunlight.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
