Catching The Moon. Poem by Fay Slimm

Catching The Moon.

Rating: 5.0


Water, transparent as crystal,
Tastes of darkness when night falls,
While on evening sands, in fitful
Patterns, pebbles like trelissed shawls
Faintly gleam as in day-time's white.

Moon wilfully plays shadow games
Of catch as you can, with sheen
Repeating sun's stronger rays, framed
Now in luna-light, our dreams
Appear translucently moon-bright.

Not pearls hid in deep rocky seas,
Nor gull-haunted boating bays
Can keep you from penning meaning
For me, in dark's tender ways,
Soft versed love pledged in moonbeam's light.

The water is cloaked by the darkness of night a full moon shines so silvery bright it leads a path unto mine eyes silhouettes and shapes are in disguise
