             Shadow Dance

The alabaster evening moon
   is my true compass.
This forest in the twilight mist
is serene sanctuary beyond all
the grasping world of men.
Here, where Time past flowing
into Time future seems an illusion,
just Spring and Love are grand
and gentle masters of my heart.
I taste the pure-lingering scent
of blossoms and antiquity, as
memories and thoughts of only
you in the 'too far away' dance
with the moonlit shadows.

The very first two lines grabbed me . . .
quote:

The alabaster evening moon
   is my true compass.

But the rest of the poem was a special rendering of the place where you reside and love. Your poetic words bear that out in wonderful thoughts penned with beauty in mind.
