In The Shadows - Moonlight Dancing
~*Marge Tindal*~

Swaying branches of the willow
among the shadows of the night
Moonlight comes in soft array
gracefully dancing slivers of light

Dancing beams entrancing
courtesy of a cloud-split sky
Permitting a symphony of light
upon the shadows prancing by

In the shadows - moonlight dancing
upon the skirt of willow twirls
Once more round the meadow waltzing
as the night wind gently swirls

Now with dawning light of day
gentle breezes softly play
Gracing yet her gentle sway
of shadows in moonlight danced away

Marge that's where I belong dancing in the moonlight, and this is divine, it is so beautiful full of images, womderfully written.

I'll just sprinkle some on my fairy dust here, to add an extra glow. I like this one, now who else needs some glittering dust

Marge,

entrancing isn't it? Your poetry drew me in and filled my heart and mind with shades of dark and light interwoven in musical form. Lovely...... Bob <><

Wynter~
Thanks, gal !

BloomingRose~
Yeah ... the darned image showed for me -
and I even printed it out ...
then it disappeared.
I even tried a new upload to my GeoCities server
and it did the same thing again.
I finally just took it out.
I loved the beautiful weeping willow and wish
I could have shared it with this piece.
Thank you for letting me know and for the e-mails.

JanetMarie~
Thanks for noticing the 'twist'.
You are greatly appreciated in this lady's heart.

Karilea~
I felt a renewed inspiration and am also pleased
with the poetry it sparked !

Puck~
You're the greatest !
I'll take a large dose of that 'fairy dust'.

PoeMinister~
Appreciate your thoughts always.

SuthernGal~
Thanks for letting me know of the *sigh* !

LightHouseBob~

Glad to have drawn you in.

Is she really swaying or would you call the sasshaying? Either way this piece is so lovely and your entry into this challenge is met with the tenderness of thought provoke in the simple complexity of nature and I thank you for sharing such a lovely piece my friend.

Marge,
what can I say your softer side is so natural and beautiful, you obviously have an affinity for nature and I have an urgent hankering for more of your work, but as I'm off to hiho, I'll carry this in my head.

MarkB~
Hi, doll !
You caught me 'sashaying' with abandon ...
Love ya'~

Kethry~
Thank you for such encouraging comments ...
I guess my 'affinity' is of a spirit borne of life
in finding the softness of all things
and within, finding who I am meant to be.
*Hugs* ...
