Postponed Poem Post

 For a long time now I've been meaning to post this poem. I wrote it a while back, but haven't found the right pictures till now. So, I hope you enjoy!

Moonlit Walk

A glassy, watery glimmer,

Cast by the moon over head,

Upon a small crystal stream,

Where glinting rocks embed.

~*~*~*~

A silent, lovely, graceful swan,

In wavering, reflected beauty,

Hushed, graceful, and stunning,

Across the water, glides softly.

~*~*~*~

The moon is lit high above,

Floating on the clouds aloft.

The white light cascades down,

Bright sharp, yet smoothly soft.

~*~*~*~

Enthralling is the moonlit night

In ebony splendor portrays,

Enchantments and mysteries,

Fly about the land and ways

~*~*~*~

The trees creak and groan,

In their rooted, soiled place.

Willows quake and tremble,

Oaken branches above embrace.

~*~*~*~

On such a night as this,

My breath is taken away,

For I find it hard to breathe,

When in such a nightly display.

~*~*~*~

I know come the sunrise,

I will never see this night again.

Not a misty night like this

Where fog rolls o’re the glens.

~*~*~*~

I will wake to find it all a dream,

In sudden illumination gone,

So I bid thee, mystic magic,

To sing thy last, beautiful song.

~*~*~*~

As easily as the rainbow goes,

So you go now, dark night.

I loved thee in thy ebony frame,

But it is now time for the light.

~*~*~*~

Farewell, mysterious, moonlit,

Glimmering, star flecked hours.

Good bye, for the dawn comes

To take the time that was ours…

~*~*~*~*~
