Moon Sail Away

A celestial glow disturbed the room
and in its fade a shadow bloomed
as if this light took up some space
and beguiled the air with an embrace

so I crossed the bedroom’s gloom
into the refracted space of moon
that grazed the sky in watchful glean
and took me to a peaceful dream

leaving behind the wilted pillow
and moving over the silver willow
just a beam of purest pale
leaning into dreams a sail

then serene in the between
to flow with gilded butterfly wing
with dust of wishes made today
across the trail of milky way

Would that I could stay this flight
and be a follower of this light
though robin song would gather dust
against the bushes in cobwebs thrust

and my dear heart who still sleeps on
would reach out and find me gone
so I choose the breaking day
and the moon sailing away away

the moon sailing away

Ah, new to me, hadn't caught this one before, so very glad you brought it back to light, enjoyed the play on words, as "a sail" also came across as assail and the light bright white of the moon can do just that...

big smiles here, Martie...

A choice between the sun and the moon... Such a dilemma... and you make it seem so simple...
