Of Night Ascendant, Soft Capricious Moon

Of Night Ascendant, Soft Capricious Moon Of night ascendant, soft capricious moon, In life and loving- may we never part, Nor dance to any disappointing tunes Whilst we fly together as two brave hearts. Traversing immanent course with our God Through appalling world, may we safely trod. Throughout life, we our flowering seeds sow Rising to dawn's call, its majestic glows. Daring to deny world's dark temptations Live true, within Light's illuminations. Of night ascendant, soft capricious moon, In life and loving- may we never part, Nor dance to any disappointing tunes Whilst we fly together as two brave hearts. R.J. Lindley, 1980 Rhyme ( Wherein A Soul Finds Salvation )

This would have been enough Robert "Of night ascendant, soft capricious moon, In life and loving- may we never part, Nor dance to any disappointing tunes Whilst we fly together as two brave hearts." The rest was like cold sweet vanilla ice cream on pie.

Oh, this is just marvelous, Sir Roberto - I think you knew I'd love this one, my favorite muse adored therein, and scratching up the eastern sky ... blue and wan and wondrous! This is instantly one of my faves of your faves, and that's saying something. This is the bloom that awaits when the anger and frustration is gone, and you let your peaceful spirit guide you ... more of THIS, please. Superb. Blessings!

Thank you my friend. This one is from 41 years ago. In 1980 I was a mere 26 years old.. And often wrote in experimenting styles and flavors. And yes, you saw correctly into those verses - this was composed after a severe time in my life- when I had just recovered from a great loss, a immense darkness that had engulfed me.. Thanks for the fav.... God bless..
