Notes About The Poem

Oh Luna

Oh Luna

Oh Luna, I am watching you 
     rise in eastern skies.
Your fullness fills my heart 
     with romantic thoughts
As I serenely bathe in your 
     charming reflective glow,
I know there are lovers every-
     where gazing in awe
Of your exquisite enchanting 
    allure causing hearts
To beat with a thrilling rhythm 
     of inner love songs
That captivate the heart and 
     soul, imbibing imagery
Of silent shadows and distant 
     stars that drape your
Indigo sky in shimmering star-
     light from light years
Passed, and as shooting stars 
     brighten night skies,
They are reflected as you are 
     in lover's longing eyes.

Sherry Asbury December 7, 2018 at 5:44 PM I, too, love the moon and follow its phases. On Pinterest I have a collection of moon photos. It leads me to dream and wonder. This is a delightful poem!!

Kai Michael Neumann December 2, 2018 at 12:39 AM A great tribute to the moon and to those who appreciate it. This is catching and I will watch the moon. Not tonight as we are going on holiday in our new Spanish home. But the day after the moon will enchant me once more. The theme of my marriage is the moon spoon story. Kind lunar wishes, Kai

Carolyn Devonshire October 29, 2018 at 5:21 PM "...reflected as you are in lover's longing eyes." So many beautiful lines, Connie. Just a few nights ago the moon rose over the ocean here (like the sun does in the morning) and it appeared huge. Must have been a harvest moon. Luna is such a source of imagination! Excellent writing, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn Connie Marcum Wong November 3, 2018 at 10:01 PM That full harvest moon is what inspired this poem Carolyn. Thank you very much my friend! : )
