Under the Moon

Above a full moon dances with the billowing clouds, The ornate gate creaks as I push to enter; A winding road, shines in the moonlight, and beckons me, I glide past sleeping gnarled tree branches. Above a full moon dances with the billowing clouds, Angel statues do not comfort me from my sadness; The maze of stone cold tombs weep in the moonlight, I drift there under the full moon beautifully ethereal. And then I hear the first bird song . . . _________________________ January 5, 2016 Verse

Ethereal is the word. Captivating lines you have here, BW. Love the repetition of the first line which grabs the reader's immediate attention. Kim

On my visits to the cemetery, I am always fascinated by the dichotomy of the stillness and death beneath me, and the canopy of life and song above me. Exclusive, but one without the other would be mournful. A lovely piece, BW, good luck. Viv x
