On a sultry summer's night When peaceful sleep eluded me Bathed in silver moonlight I gazed at the shimmering sea The gentle hands of a zephyr Lightly caressed my face and hair Carrying promises of ecstatic release For my heart laden with despair Lured like a moth to flame I stepped onto the grainy sand And ran, swift and untamed The moon as my guiding hand Then i was at the water's edge The waves lapping at my toes I raised my arms in silent pledge And my spirits swiftly rose Like a butterfly emerging From the cocoon of its timeless rest Eyes blessed with renewed sight Nature's bounty, I doth attest The heavens are of deepest velvet With stars as twinkling fireflies The sea shimmers in silver light And the moon, luminous against the skies The magical beauty of the night Rendered my mind into a trance Voices of sylphs whispered to me Spurring me into an ancient dance In lithe, sinuous movements My body began to undulate Free of all life's inhibitions I soared like the wind incarnate With the melodious chirping of crickets And the ocean's soothing croon As the only music of my dance I paid homage to the goddess of the moon |

Oh, I am so delighted you've joined Pips. This is an absolutely gorgeous write! I am wanting to run into the surf right now, dance in the sand 'neath the moon's loving gaze. WELCOME!!!! |

Wow, Pauline, this was exquisite. Am keeping this for sure! Lucky goddess to receive such a beautiful homage.  The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears. |

"With stars of twinkling fireflies" this line makes me remember an abstract ethereal beauty that is very pleasing to me. |
