~*~

Moonbeams slip through shutters
of the open bedroom windows.
Slender fingers of light reach over me,
casting my languid body in silver.

Lady Luna's sine qua non seeks my soul,
illuminating it with her godly light.
Memories of ancient times are awakened
and I begin chanting the song of the Druids.

I rise and find my way to the ocean shore,
with an inner knowing of sacred secrets.
With arms reaching for the stars,
I touch my very own spirit.

I stretch and gently rock back and forth
in the primal rhythms of long ago,
breathing in essences of ages past,
allowing the mysteries to enfold me.

Bathed in the serene glow of the moon,
I am transported to another time,
another place, when Dance of the Dawn
ushered in the morning sun.
With waves lashing my legs into divine movements,
the glorious sun rises at the edge of the world.

Linda, this is so beautiful. I love it all.

And, my friend, congratulations on 11,000.
I've enjoyed every poem and reply of yours
that I've read. You are such a sweet lady.
You know, I only noticed the other day
that you came to Passions one month and
two days before I did. You were so nice
to me when I came here that I thought you
had been here a long time. You helped to
make me feel right at home. Thank you for
being you, sweet friend.  
Hugs
