Night Light

I live in God's Fir Tree Forest Garden. All around standing at attention are the Douglas Firs. They are all ready beautiful but when the moon comes out to play...Look out! I know we can all identify.

Night Light

 

Sometimes, with the arrival of night, sleep will not come. 

All is anticipation, waiting and watching.

 Like a great and beautiful paper lantern glowing in obsidian night.

 For it, this soul longs and waits. 

I find comfort in gentle glowing presence of warm peace. 

Luna arches through the sweet velvet heavens and leaves her blessed reflection. 

I revel in long stretching luminous projection against my own backyard.

 It is metamorphosis. 

Nothing is left but wonders, to gaze transfixed, wide eyed at beautiful night magic. Where are the angels? Do they wonder at my joy?

 How does it feel to observe a mortal being, in awe? I am in awe every time.

 Over and over, a renewed experience. 

These eyes rejoice!

Late and later, sleepy eyed but still I search and quest.

 Every corner and tree top spire is new glossy covering.

 So like a little child, wanting to stay, not missing a so special treat. ? 

I am so thirsty!  Can I have another drink of moonlight? 

The canopy above releases glow upon glow in refined perfection’s projection.

 Late night streamers unite in silvery silhouette; a black light show!

 Where did the time go, fleeting heart-beats ticking? 

 My inner soul sees through physical vision phenomenon.

 Clockwork moonlight comes and will again.

 Again glory’s night light will hold me in close caress. 

We will meet gazing face to face. 

Bathe me in your moon light. 

This heart will await your glowing signal.

Bright night candle.

I have a poem not yet posted here where I say Sth like drinking and bathing in moonlight for I'm a fervent lunar lover so I found your version ESP entrancing as my senses delve and indulge into your night magic poetry. You muse eloquently my poetic friend, I hope to read from your ink a lifetime. Kudos.
And warm greetings.
You may read my newest, my poetry is lucid though, as English is not my mother tongue, yet there are those who say I write good for an easterner with English as a second language so I go on spurred by that.

You know everyone finds the night sky with it's starry host and of course moonlight to be pretty awesome. I see by your above words that you enjoy it as well.
Blessings to you and thanks so much for your fun review. Loved it!

Nevillle Pettitt,
What stirs? What brings wonder? Do we find joy? Do we then reflect somehow, just like the moon reflects? Thankful for your review, thankful that you bother to read but then take it a step further by lending your own view and spin on something written. Great to know you.
Blessings,
Kathy
