MOONLIGHT NIGHT
The moonlight struck upon her face
Enlightening mood with show of grace
A silhouette of form and dream
That captured love where dark had been

The night was one of magic call
Filled by rays that seldom fall
To give a treat that God did share
The flood of moonlight everywhere

A different mood of feel it gave
That changed the thought and ways behave
It gave our time a different chance
A new appeal and new romance

The sun of night had filled the sky
And by its light we played on by
Enjoying mood that love had made
Until its end and all did fade

The sun of night...indeed...

Expert poets make the moon shine...

Awww!  

When moonglow burns cool and white,
warms night in reflections bright
and warmer touch finds sparks delight,

'tis brief the hours which and wane
while tender secrets smile, remain.
Loved this one, Rick!  ~KL
