MoonRise
...............
A background
of glittering stars
enrobed by
the velvet night
A silver ball
of light
pierces my
very sight
And in awe
I gaze upon
rising to replace
the sun
Rising to
replace daylight
the gleam
of the moon
so bright
Her relflection
shimmers and shakes
upon the water
that vibrates
as lakes feel
her frequencies
and oceans buckle
as if to please
As tides move in
then out
Her influence
round about
touches the very air
that carries her
influence there
Moonrise
I gaze upon
at the setting
of the sun
Her silvery
light appears
to waylay all my fears
Moonrise
how I wish
I could keep
a moment
so precious
and deep
An image
so priceless
and rare
So glad to be alive
to be there
To view the sights
you afford
Your love
is never flawed
for Planet Earth
that you shine
upon
and you are
the night time sun
And so that image
is in my mind
of a very special kind
Of a love for you
that's deep
Your silvery light
I will always keep...
