Under
the Moonlit Night
The
enchantment of the moonlit night
has a
thousand eyes naturally aglow
Wild
Irises glisten from within the impractical magic
The
laughing owls pass midnight
basking
in the illusions of their shadows,
echoing
their crystal clear reverie through the trees
~
Nature
gently sways in the swirling tempest breeze
drawing
a shower of moon beams down
from
far beyond the cosmic grandeur
Wisps
of the slumbering sky unfurl
teardrops
drunk by earth’s sod
Nocturnal
rhythm's acoustical wings
softly
chirp a bashful courting song
~
Laughter
rings out blissfully alight
As if
it were a joyful song of the wind
Mother
Nature swings gracefully to and fro
Her
leafy willow’s arms bend ardently
as she
groans and moans from her silent toil
Passionately
bearing the weight
of the
celestial light's load
~
Moonlight
moves across the shadows
unveiling
an adoring love born beneath the trees
Two
shadows emerge as one
from
deep inside the secrets kept by the sleeping wilds
Reborn
like enlightened life under the starlit night
transformed by
a moment’s mystical magic
within
the enchanting forest yesternight ...
