Full Moon Beguile

A sunset colored with crape myrtle
pressed like silk on blue at first
stayed while I sat down to watch
it drain behind the palm tree’s burst

I thought no beauty could surpass it
and turned to you to speak my view
but you looked passed with eyes celestial
and dreamy with the moonlight’s hew.

I watched it scale a square of building
dissected by a telephone pole
then climb the open angel’s stairway
to rule the sky and light my soul.

I knew you thought of how your Gaga
loved to lay with you out back
when you were just a little fella
and explain its dark and glorious trek.

For when the moon is at the full
I see her climb into your face
almost hear her voice like music
and feel the warmth of her embrace.

The moon at full has all the glory
of the smile that touched the child
and changed forever all the meaning
of the night’s full moon beguile.

repost because of the GAGA MOON

In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.

Ah, Martie!  I just love the tender poetry you write!

                "I knew you thought of how your Gaga
                 loved to lay with you out back
                 when you were just a little fella
                 and explain its dark and glorious trek.

                 For when the moon is at the full
                 I see her climb into your face
                 almost hear her voice like music
                 and feel the warmth of her embrace.

                 The moon at full has all the glory
                 of the smile that touched the child
                 and changed forever all the meaning
                 of the night’s full moon beguile. "

You're such a good poet Martie and those lines are so touching!

It is hard to mix two diverse things such as the city and nature without one seeming out of place, but it worked very well here...a lovely piece

Love this, you know there is a full moon tonight...
I always tell my granddaughter I love her up to the moon and back.
This is so sweet, beautifully done.
