Summer Moon

S taring at the mountains, I raise my eyes
U p to where the stars are glittering
M esmerizingly in summer’s skies.
M idnight’s beauty to my soul is singing.
E ternity is staring back at me,
R esiding in this radiance I see.

M yriads of nights like this have come and gone.
O ther nights will follow; the moon will bring
O palescent grace to heaven’s song.
N ever-ending rhapsodies shall nature sing.

I seldom se the moon as my house faces north and south and the moon is not easy to find. I believe it is very large tonight but I have to wait until after midnight to run out to find it. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

So nice, this arrangement of a very hard form. And your story line is very cohesive. I especially like lines 5 and 6.

Its so vital to happiness not to ignore the jewels andgems of Nature Andrea. I believe many people would discover viable therapy just by learning to notice and appreciate more of Nature's marvels. " The moon will bring opalescent grace to heaven's song..." that's a poetic honor the Moon won't forget. J.A.B.
