' Homes Of The Moon... ' Poem by MoonBee Canady

The Castle Of The Moon
Is Made Of Pearl
Its Banners and Pennants
Are Moonbeams Unfurled

See Pinpoints Of Lances
Of Her Knights Defenses
The Tapestry Of Darkness
Her Glory Eclipses
__________

The Palace Of The Moon
Is Made Of Silver
In The River Of Night
It Shines and Mirrors

Amid Lotus-Stars
And Nightingale Comets
Where Dreams and Torches
Move In Its Orbit
__________

The Villa Of The Moon
Is Made Of Alabaster
An Incandescent Sphere
Of Silken Plaster

Many Lamps Are Hung
Distant, Dim-Lit Suns
Dancing, Wearing Veils
‘Til Morning Comes
__________

The Mansion Of The Moon
Is Made Of Light
Full Of Illumed Treasures
Richly Bright

With Magnolia Blossoms Scattered
Beside The Fireflies Blinking
And Glinting Coins
and Little Eyes A-Winking
__________

But The Humble-Hut Of The Moon
Holds A Golden Harvest
It Glows and Invites You
Into Its Forest

A Thousand Flames Flickering
Round Its Welcome Hearth
Hailing Home Sweet Home
Up Over Our Earth …

In Any Somber Room
It Lightens Up The Gloom
The Castle, Palace, Villa, Mansion
Hut … Of The Moon
