Silver Moon

~~~

It flows like mercury

Heavy and bright

A shining bit of silver

In the darkness of night

~~~

Pale shadows are cast

The grey ghosts dance

Your heavenly glow

Adds to the romance

~~~

Scented from above

Like jasmine in the air

The world goes by alone

Hardly seeing you there

~~~

But your forever pull

And translucent flight

Bound by heaven’s magic

Spells cast in your light

~~~

What would we be

Without your subtle grace

For love is ready found

In light upon your face

~~~

Yet, linger you have

As the lovers swoon

Under the light

Of a silvery moon

~~~
