Moonbeams fall from starry skies
And settle down upon the flowing creek
Not meaning to impress
But only so that I could witness
Nature at its best
A moon in love with earth
Reflecting on a the water’s crest

Oh no, it’s not for love
But for the love of life
Moonlight has descended on a little brook’
To dance a dance
With no intention of romance
But only to ignite the magic
Beauty of the night
And form a memory in my eyes
That will outlive these starry skies

Perhaps the moon was never meant to dance
But to reflect the movement of the stream
And lingers there to light each rippled dream
I cannot speak for moonbeams
nor for little brooks  
but I can say without a doubt
That God created
Moonbeams and a little brook
And blessed the two
And I’m the one who is entranced
By this magnificence - not you

Oh how pretty is this!!  I feel so grateful for everyday and all the gifts that the good Lord bestows upon us.  I think it's an age thing,
after weathering so many storms I've come to appreciate the stars in the sky, the sun shining high in the sky and all the beauty that surrounds us.

Thanks for this, it's really lovely.

Dearest Liz...I think you're right...the moon is there to light the meaning of the brook and the way you look.  Love you!!
