Oh, Gentle Moon
Romance has been birthed
Beneath your glow
Showers of delight
In hues of hope
Falling over my dreams
Breathing tenderly
On silent nights
Under a ghostly gray
Breathes a misty thought
Dancing on stardust
Whispering inspiration
Crimson sensations
Rolling over my thoughts
Beckoning praise
Beneath a graceful haze
Of laughing grace
Music and poetry
Come alive, dancing
A fire on the inside
Below your silvery blaze
Where melancholy reigns
And joy decides to fight
For the passion of promise
Held captive on the wind
Where prayers still
The kindness within
Lighting the darkness
With sensations that chase
Away the foreboding
Of nightmarish fears
Lingering on the air
Sighs of compassion
Warming the heart and soul
With songs of blessedness
Aspirations and delights
Healing souls who dread
The past the way many fear
A nightmare haunting
The clear, cool moments
Of the here and now
Oh, gentle moon
Echo through the heart
In waves of mysterious love
Settling all the worries
With promises of a cure
Filled with tenderness
Feelings that blend
Together in kind thanks
For all the joy you reflect
On your beaming pledge
Of intimate radiance
Glimmering on the night
A flame of truth and insight
Sparking wiggling stars
Into playing with the night
Quivering gleam of charm
Lifting heavy hearts
Assuring souls of eternity
Filled with gracious
Quiet – sweet serenity
Abiding endlessly
Oh, gentle moon
Guide my pen
As I speak of you
The truth is so alive
Like the fire in your bright
Caress of the naked earth
Your fire shimmers
With your soft touch
Sending ripples
Across the thoughts
On land and sea
You stroke us all!
Oh, gentle moon
Please don’t fall
You’re a welcome friend
To everyone who sees
Your glistening flame
Oh, gentle moon
Please never go away
You make all the difference
In night’s blushing allure
Oh, gentle moon
You are the caress
To which I am drawn
Never leave us alone
Without you, dear friend
Night would be so very dark
