Moonlit Illusion

Near a cliff a young woman walks Eyes like blue saucers A Svelte figure We see her in the glassy moonlight The light dances on her hair Creating a"moonlight shadow" Under lunar light so many things can happen Moonlight is liquid love In the distance A wolf howls Searching for his mate

Matthew this is a very lovely write from start to finish.. wonderful imagery takes the reader there walking along side the young woman, the wolf is far enough away as not to worry. Unless, his mate is nearby. I've notice to minute typo's "glasy" should perhaps be "glassy or glossy" and "thiongs" should perhaps read as 'things" It is still a very lovely write and I've enjoyed the read my friend. Thank you for sharing the write and for your welcome comments. Many Blessings, always, Adell

A beautiful write...the moon is a beauty...and the light it casts creates beauty... Always, Farah
