~ An Hour With
You~
That golden orb on treetop sets
among faint
clouds in starlit skies.
It beckons child come out
to play,
to let loose the aged grown-up
ties.
Why is it that the now-full moon
with shining
face and harvest tones
brings out the playful girl
in me
whose hidden face is rarely shown?
Expectancy awakens in this light!
Ribboned bonnet
and laced dress
dance atop the dewy grass
as
pale moonlight guides her joyous steps.
She frolics ‘neath the amber glow,
that child who
now her freedom’s found,
chasing stars and
fireflies,
imagination knows no bound.
Inhibition nonexistent
in this little girl at
play
She lifts unfettered her tender face,
drinking in the moon’s full gaze.
Playful child so full of life
dance and spin on
pointed toe
as though fountain from ground has
sprung
unleashed, gushing water flow.
O beautiful sight in God’s richest heaven,
O full
moon shining in this night,
skin does tingle with
expectation
when basking in your gentle
light!
Tomorrow’s sun will surely bring
this childish
frolic to an end.
That girl inside me will hide her
face
until you wake her...
Dear Moon, please
wake her...
'Til she wakes to dance with you
again.
