Winter Moon

The breeze sweeps softly through the field
And touches me like silken lace
From where it came, his heart unsealed
Love’s longing from a distant place
And sent an icy wind to streak
His warmth across a lonely cheek

The white of moondust settles fine
On craggy limbs of weathered beech
From where it came, the songs were sung
Of dreams that dwell beyond my reach
On branches of a moonlit tree
Are powdered melodies for me

The winds of winter’s starry night
Brush tender skin with love’s desire
And carry me in fantasy
To lover’s nest by warming fire
A moon on such a night as this
Brings chill of pain and warmth of kiss

It is the mind that dreams it heard
The message of the silent word
Where winter moon floats leisurely
And sprinkles love on fence and tree

Oh,SweetLizzie~

'The white of moondust settles fine

From where it came, the songs were sung
Of dreams that dwell beyond my reach
On branches of a moonlit tree

How beautifully your thoughts fall across the page~
This is a stunning, imagery-laden piece.

Extremely well penned, Liz, I love it

I really like the rhyming technique you used in this piece - very effective, and of course, a wonderful poet such as yourself pulled it off perfectly!~

Elizabeth,
Your poem goes deeper than you know. To me it is a whisper in the dark. Sy

Elizabeth-
   Oh how beautiful are your thoughts.
   You've penned them to perfection..

        "The breeze sweeps softly through the field
        And touches me like silken lace
        From where it came, his heart unsealed
        Love’s longing from a distant place
        And sent an icy wind to streak
        His warmth across a lonely cheek

        The white of moondust settles fine
        On craggy limbs of weathered beech
        From where it came, the songs were sung
        Of dreams that dwell beyond my reach
        On branches of a moonlit tree
        Are powdered melodies for me"

   Absolutely lovely..

   hugs,
