MOON:


She arrives softly, as if by magic & gently appearing,

Just a slip of a maid, behind clouds, peeping & peering,

Her delicate toes shod, in mere slippers of filigreed lace,

Shyly reluctant to show her sweet, young & innocent face.           

 

Expectant & resplendent, in her full-blown & pregnant gown,

Wooed by old stars & night by night, her soft stripping down,

Her raiment’s of moonbeams, un-stitched, seam by satin seam,

While we, mere mortals below, in creamy arms, deem to dream.

 

From pretty maid she was, caring mother & lastly wise old crone,

From weaving & waxing & now, time to wane her way back home,

By dint of sun´s lure & his impatient & wicked, barefaced peeping,

Away she drifts, from his eyes, into the skies of heaven´s keeping.
