 Moonbeams-Jessie Wilcox-Smith Watch for me... when the moon is full, I shall come. Do not be alarmed if no leaf is harmed... or turned in the coming. I never make much noise You know that. Just watch for the homing curve of a sparrow's wing... In the singing night ~ Or the final smallest ripple as the waves slip slumbering into the sand.. Or the first firefly. Small lights wait for the night sometimes... So small they need the moon to help... because this shining is serious business You know that. Watch for me... When the moon is full and never pull at this or that lever to bring me.. You will only tire and I require... A certain freedom Of coming and going. So when the rest have gone... Linger on- Sit upon the largest rock... You will feel me breathe just behind your ear Know my hand is on your shoulder... gently turning you toward my moon, Wait.. And I shall tell you in a whisper "Isn't that just great?" Watch for me When the moon is full. |

Enchantress I wanted to write some words to your words Hope you dont mind Dave ***************** Watch for me... when the moon is full, I shall come. As the white of night Do not be alarmed if no leaf is harmed... or turned in the coming. I never make much noise You know that. In the depth of night Just watch for the homing curve of a sparrow's wing... In the singing night ~ Or the final smallest ripple as the waves slip slumbering into the sand.. Or the first firefly. Raises my senses of the dawn Small lights wait for the night sometimes... So small they need the moon to help... because this shining is serious business You know that. As a new love is born Watch for me... When the moon is full and never pull at this or that lever to bring me.. You will only tire and I require... A certain freedom Of coming and going. In sunsets early light So when the rest have gone... Linger on- Sit upon the largest rock... You will feel me breathe just behind your ear Know my hand is on your shoulder... gently turning you toward my moon, Wait.. And I shall tell you in a whisper "Isn't that just great?" Watch for me When the moon is full. For as a wind, a gentle breeze, a hurricane I will drift as a caress for your thoughts |

What is that old Vaughn Monroe song? "Racing with the moon", I believe, from the early fifties, which is probably before your time, but your lovely writing took me back to lots of long summer nights watching the moon pass. Your gifted words never fail to please. Hugs Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Such a tender poem that should be passed down generation to generation! I can well imagine a mother sharing this with her children, but the picture you chose makes it even more special! Truly enjoyed this, Nancy. Thank you. ~miscellanea |
