Like the Moonlight, I’ll…

An evocative love poem that serenades nature, by Monika, exclusively for Different Truths.

When sprigs
of a tree become
swaying silhouettes,
 
When lustre
touches the mien
of the graphite night,
 
When Heaven
above glitters
in a silver starlit veil,
 
When moonbeams
walk gracefully
on the lightless path,
 
When the moon-glint
paints golden hues
into the misty grey,
 
When the dainty light
warms the eyes,
until dawn arrives,
 
When the sunset hues
kiss the dawn,
waiting as a standby.
 
Like the Moonlight
I'll caress you,
but wispily.
