Country Moon

Moonlight gilds each village roof.
In the meadow, every hoof,
Where placid cows raise shining eyes
And chew their cuds and here there lies
A polished pond and all the leaves
Are turned to gold upon the trees.

Magic fills the country air.
Moonglow shimmers everywhere.
Over hills and through the valleys,
Runs a road that dips and dallies,
Like a thong of silver leather,
Drawing all the farms together.

Overhead, the country moon
Rises like a freed balloon!

even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."

BettyLou~
A truly delightful read~

'Over hills and through the valleys,
Runs a road that dips and dallies,
Like a thong of silver leather,
Drawing all the farms together.'

What a creatively unique perspective~
I love it~
