Moonrise

A black veil now descends at dusk
And nature's face we cannot see
And in the woods a trace of musk
Pointing fingers on ev'ry tree
And on the ground the frozen snow
The Diamonds of the Stars reflects
Beneath the ice the water flows
Each passing day beauty perfects
A silver light,a diadem
A waxing Love our story told
Within my heart a precious gem
With open hands my cards unfold
And just one sound in Forest gloom
The Wolf is howling at the Moon

"howling at the moon" is a perfect ending to this melancholy piece, Michael. Your descriptive words had my mind whirling to keep up with the poetical expertise.

Very beautiful - every word, every image, every nuance, but that last line was, for me, the most perfect.

I have always been fond of the Wolf Moon.

Well done.
