Her grace has emerged
   over the hilltops
draped in a silken
   film of gauze
drifting softly
   over the shoulders
of lofty escorts
   in velvet robes

just passing through
   the unabashed voyeur
peeks in their windows
   and under their beds
she touches moss gardens
   lighting their corners
and rousing the sleepers
   she slips through the trees

Her grace is stirring
   a quiet awakening
and blinking of eyes
  â€˜neath the last winter snow
Moonbeams are shining  
   on awestruck faces
of pretty white flowers
   in the glistening night

This just radiates a certain sensual kind of light on dark shadow play.

Lovely work and welcome~

The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.

I learn something every day. I knew of a majority of names given to the seasons of the moon, but this was not one of them.
