Oh Moon

Oh moon, so full, so dearly bright, You are the light of lovers; misty glow of night, Dimmer than sun, his subordinate reflection, yet remains he jealous despite; for even death, cannot silence love’s forever brilliance, vows trans-versing ages--the grave a mere cycling phase…each new face a hopeful countenance—and all passing through such shadows are coated, in-spite of the daze, with a gleaming, rapturous glaze…. Oh Moon, your insight, unlike all others—though depressed in curfews of darkness--appealing dread silence I call through the thickness, while treading deep echoes of night—where does a heart sail when one beat cruelly sunk--leaving the other, fond memory, but little choice than to float their dreams one alone...? Till the fog once again lifted, and awakened by her lips, love’s promise; is not life so preciously gifted, to we unworthy yet treasured by God? Only you, Moon, see clearly our heartaches; and the matchless pain when summarily parted--our seasons so like your own, cold and warmth, dim halos and beaming glows--as onto occasions light simmers...to again lustrously grow. For humans--our hearts free symphonies a-flutter—soul’s mortal vehicle the spirit only intimately knows; let no sadness sow doubt to drown us, affirming for love that love eternally flows….

Yes. The moon may wane, but surely waxes again, reflecting the human condition, unlike the constancy of the sun. Thanks, Gershon

Awaken the children, slowly, carefully...or they may be startled -- feeling little more than shadows frantic with light. The moon, the light of which a bit more subdued perhaps gives us occasion to feel deep, beneath the surface -- to listen...hear the voice of love that permeates all at the core of existence. Thank you, Gershon. Your comments made my day!

That special Luna Lady of the night and morning light whose grip on our hearts is felt so enchantingly under her glowing spell. I dearly love this poem Joe! You have an intimate understanding of her moods. I am putting this beauty into my Faves! If this is for the promise contest I hope it is honored at the top! Blessings xxoo
