Silhouettes on Moonshine

Luminous, bright, full silvered light,

so lonesome on a starless night.

In cobalt skies a bauble rests,

unhooked a vision at its best.

From window view in gable end

I gaze in awe at its ascent.

A branch creates a silhouette, 

dark leaves in dance, soft pirouette

across the face of lunar sheen.

Inside my bedroom I have seen

breathtaking beauty, such delight,

black floats on silver, wondrous sight.

Heavenly body wanders free.

A treasure fit for yuletide tree.

This trinket travels way on high

on tip toe gently through the sky.

A beautiful depiction of the silhouettes that capture our wonder, as well as our words. Sometimes the old sayings ring true and the best things in life are indeed free, like the screensavers that capture our gaze and wonder, calming us with the beauty of the unexpected moments old Ma nature doles out to us :)

We have much to be thankful for as far as old Ma Nature is concerned Lorry. I also thank you for your visit.

Lovely lilting melody perfectly suited to the subject matter. You have a sweet soft way of putting your thoughts on paper that works for all the varied subjects you choose

Hello sette, thank you so much for reviewing this poem. It certainly looked beautiful the night I composed this poem.

this almost sounds like an old gothic novel...and i picture her looking out the window...looking almost like a shadow behind the pane...
and it gives me a chill.

Thank you Jacob. Gothic is fine by me.
