Swaddled Moon
~*Marge Tindal*~

~Oh, swaddled moon
so softly cradles this night
rock-a-bye song until early light
lullaby sung gently in starry ebon sky
feather tipped cloud-skirts drift on high
crescent phase lays in undulation of sighs
as the slipper of moon tippy-toes across sky
held in adoration by seeking eyes from below
leave lovers to wonder at the beauty bestowed
never such luminosity from such a small gaze
as seen through these trees with exalted ease
slipping thru the galaxy with graceful flare
as though there was an audience waiting
anticipating the ease with which she's
waltzing herself through this month
of dance ... prancing ever daintly
until she reaches full-term
oh, swaddled moon~



~While she is only a crescent of herself she appears to cradle the night~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Richly written! This piece will follow me as the moon does when I need comfort walking along the beach in the evenings....

Magic Moonlady, your grace equals the beauty of your beloved "sky object".

Stunning technique too!

Love and hugs.

~Thank you
all so kindly
for the replies
that you all bestow
on this grateful lady
who wants you all to know
I find the moon is so me
as she sheds her light
I would wish for you
the beauty of her
luna of light~
