The Whispering Moon

Whispering, 
the glistening moon calls to me
Softly caressing my worn out soul
Sleepy in it's quest 
to slip by 
silently, unheard
Feeling my restless light,
enticing me
Hear the whispering night
softly alluring
lulling sweetly, it's gentle glow
Burdened thoughts surrender
calmly, silently go
Abyss of darkness, creeps 
faintly drifting in
Hush my withered soul  
soothe my being

A whisper
distantly touching my spirit
gently,  peacefully taken.  
The whispering moon
quietly embraces me 
unheard, at peace 
I am.
Silence.

Daver Austin Date: 6/2/2016 10:52:00 AM Love your whispering moon. After all what could the moon do but whisper. It is so damn far away. I whisper back romantic things.
