Summer Moon

Slowly pulsing through glittered haze
Under cloudscape, her locks blow wild
Misty the blushed roses, ablaze
Moon of summer, warmth of hayrides
Enchanting peach fragrance of the night
Reveal your glory, dear chromed fay,

My eyes chase a Selene’s delight
Over hills wrapped in flamed crochet.
Oh, sleep denies a lullaby
No matter how you beam, goodbye!

I found myself swept away by the mystique of this poem! Sometimes, the moon can't make me sleep either, especially when she's up there like a majestic queen waiting for me to celebrate her fullness. A fave, a fave, Nette!
