  Disciples of the Moon
  (for all “moon-a-tics”
     everwhere!)

Beneath an infinite mantle
   of stars
and ‘endless’ mountain
tops that emerge and
vanish with the rolling
   clouds,
the tremulous sound
of distant evening bells
floats on a sultry Summer
   breeze
and dances with the wisps
of twilight mist, moonbeams,
and silver-tipped shadows
assembled for this occasion
   by the night
along this forest-meadow
   edge.
On evenings such as this,
one recalls the dreams of
youth and loves forever
lost to the inexorable
whirlpool of time.
Let go, let go … of all
the memory-wounds
   and fears.
Will your mind and
loving spirit-heart
to the care of that
grand-mystic moon.

So many memories come to mind.
Picture perfect poetry and ponderings.
Reads like a slide show.

As a hopeless moon-a-tic I find this enchanting.

Your words paint such a wonderful picture, taking me away from the day and into a night of moongazing. Beautiful!

thank you ! "moongazing" is always a pastime most fine, methinks?!
