Beneath A Full Moon

 

On a winter’s eve, cold and clear

Beneath a bright full moon

Seeking answers to my troubles

Needing to find them soon

 

I stood and looked into the woods

Feeling quite forlorn

When from the trees emerged a vision

A gorgeous unicorn

 

He nudged me gently with his head

Offering his horn

With wonder I touched it with my hand

And knew I’d been reborn

 

In quiet awe I watched him leave

Back the way he came

Knowing that from this day on

Nothing would be the same

 

I walked into my empty house

In relative good cheer

Magic had happened here this night

To ring in a New Year

Wow you capture the wonder of the night of the full moon perfectly. I have to admit as a writer there are a few things that I seem at a loss for words when wanting to describe them and one of those is the magic and etheral feeling of blue moonlit rays on new fallen snow- there is so much more to said about the aura it creates and yet it leaves me dumbfounded but you- you write about it and make it seem so right and make the creating of the vision seem so effortless. Amazing!
