O, Lesser be the moon in full nightgown!
th’ lantern in the sea, on night--
thou art that moon, masked with shadows
on the self none can see,
Boundless, escaping at the touch of dawn--
and the river flows thee back again in pieces
O, Lesser be the moon each night.

Till thou art gone ne’er to return,
replaced with th’ birth of wholeness--
thou hast taken flight
and taken thy place among the stars,
how I do stare in the twilight hour--
each breathe, which one be thee?
And below others stare out of windows;
each thought be "which star is mine alone".

What were the shadows hiding?
Hail the sun, It has shown me the light--
no shadow could resist to be nothing
in morrow morn my thoughts hath been the same,
And thou art part of memories stored in the sky--
sailing with th’ lantern in the sea, on night
O, Lesser be the moon without thee in sight.

From the first line..this beautiful write grabbed me,

A superb write!

I like best the mood of this one...I've been back twice before, and that's impressed me each time. You express it in just the way I want to say things sometimes, and I don't carry if off nearly so well.

All I can say is Bravo! I loved the way you utilized a older style of word choice, but still got your point across. Let's just say keep writing because you are darn good at it.
