The Moon and Venus o'er the Shore

Summer magic

The Moon and Venus over the Shore

Pastel By Stan Sperlak

 

The Moon and Venus o’er the Shore

by jack

 

O’ the spectacle that calls to me

So beautiful the heavens shine

Magic plays this summer eve

Suspended astral scenes align

 

Rising as a festive banner

Balanced perfect on the rim

Nature’s whimsical demeanor

Claims the dark blue sky again

 

Adrift above the flaming waters

Horizons burn as days do end

Ignited by a mystic visit

Welcoming thy visions send

 

The dunes they stand in grand ovation

In shadows deep above the sand

The stage is set o’er violet beaches

Performing at the night’s command

 

In silhouette of simple questions

Soothing to my jaded soul

Invigorating in their wisdom

A mind can surely loose control

 

The sky was burnished sapphire blue

A faded light still touches high

The Moon and Venus o’er the shore

Vibrant images greet the eye

 

As if the sense surreal is spoken

Through words that only few can hear

When two celestial stars of wisdom

In the summer’s night appear

 

The healing of sensations pure

A’ wash upon my weary mind

Touching to my inner core

The multitude of passing time

 

Fresh and free this feeling plies

Breathing deeply of the truth

In turn my search of summer skies

Found beauty does supply the proof
