Under the Midnight Moon

Under the midnight moon I stand.
A stranger in a foreign land.
I ponder on what brought me here
Away from all that I hold dear.

The radiance that floods around,
Draws eerie mist, from out the ground,
To drift and twine about the trees
And float like smoke, around my knees.

I stare at it and know that I
Am drifting too, but don't see why
My life has taken such a turn.
In looking back, what did I learn?

Whatever lessons I might find,
Seem to elude my questing mind.
Perhaps an answer will come soon
While gazing at the midnight moon!

It is so beautiful, serene.
The brightest moon I've ever seen.
It quite entrances me to stay
Another hour, another day!

And will I in some distant year,
Discover why I linger here,
Or am I steeped in mystery
Just like this midnight moon I see?

What a delightful read,  sweet and mystical!
I've always been a fan of the moon, a real luna-tic!  nice work!

When the veiling cloud has passed
Playful shadows dance

Absolutely stunning without a graphic!  You know what this reminded me of?  Monday night The Bachelor In Paris began on t.v. and my daughter-in-love and I were watching it, as the bachelor pointed out that they were standing under a full moon, not knowing what his fate would be.   Great job!

What a treat to read, as your posts always are, Betty.  I awoke at 3:30 AM the other night, peered out our big dining room window to the west, and there hung the moon, huge, gold and round, so low.  It was just beautiful and I was captivated, too.

  God bless
