the moon tonight is super large
and sublimely bright
it’s like being caressed by
a silver shimmery shroud
the silver lights the night
beaming brilliantly bright
this is a very final ending
heralding a new adventure
had a plan for the new
but that naturally blew
so I venture off to renew
my search for what’s true
awesome wonder grows
as love and light flows
d’Verse, 14 lines, Frank – added two lines to tie this in!
Travelling today so may be a while before I read can others … sorry
Nice imagery!!

Sublime, Kate. Nature inspires, and you give it resonance, broadcasting the splendor far and wide.
Late last week, we had a couple consecutive days of leaden skies. Then Friday. just before sunset, the clouds parted, revealing soon enough silvered lunar wonders.
What always amazes me is that, no matter where we are, no matter what kind of day we’ve had, we all look up to the same moon each night.
Your writing supplements that universality, and lets it sparkle, Kate!

While Glenn was reminded of ‘By the light of the silvery moon’ (a song my granddad used to sing to me), I am now humming ‘Moonshadow’ by Cat Stevens! I have been observing the moon through the branches of our very tall trees and it managed to penetrate even the leafiest branches! You’ve captured it wonderfully, Kate! I love the rhyming couplets that add an extra bit of magic.

lol when Glenn said that I immediately thought of “Green Moon”, but the lyrics and tune to “silvery moon” are now on replay! But I do love Cats Ss song too 🙂
you are always so kind and generous with your comments Kim and it comes from such a good heart, thanks!

In the 50’s there was a song, BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON, which now scampers in my head. The evenings are chilly enough here that the air is clear of clouds and the moon is free to do its dazzle-dance.

After eight hours of driving in huge traffic jams, yes everybody is out on the roads in NSW! Reminded me of Christmas holidays it was so busy …
I couldn’t make it to my designated pit stop so have found a super quaint railway lodge … only other guests are an really delightful elderly couple!
Life never ceases to amaze me 🙂

I think you’ll like this – it should take you the second half, if it doesn’t just skip the beginning.
