Moonlight Shadows

Shadows danced a moonlight spell
Sprightly in a nights inkwell
Sporting phantoms on the ground
Making awesome thoughts abound.

Jeweled in fireflies twinkling rill
Around the trees they chased in spill
Turned a moments fantasy
Into blatant ecstasy

And I joined the splendid pace
Did a tango in embrace
Slipped into the spirits play
And danced the magic night away.

It was a night I shan’t forget
To dance and feel a spirits let
To wake up to the mornings sun
And keep the treasure I had won.

It is a place a Shangri-La
That stays for me and not so far.

Enjoyed this write!

Good morning Sy!  A lovely read,
a beautiful morning...the sun will soon
be high to warm the day, and hopefully,
your rains will abate some...

Oooh my my...how I wish I had been there with you!
This is my favourite verse from this magical piece..
although I do love it in it's entirety.
Shall I pour your tea now?

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

And I thank you for sharing this treasure... I like this uplifting beauty very much. *S*

To feel the wondrous spirt and the moonlght shadows is a breathtaking thing to recieve.With the magic of your heart and the essence of your soul dances with your inspiring words.It's a feeling of sweet music, magical feelings, and a exquisite night of dances.
