Moonlight Sonneta



Earth's wind and waves singing to our relief
Perfect harmony as like our concord
Soothing reciprocity beyond grief
Palm upon palm and the heart strikes a chord

Bathed by moonlight, our souls are ablaze
This synergy I pray shall never die
Prithee, may I not depart from your gaze
And this melody on which I rely

In this togetherness, all things can grow
Calmly and peacefully as nature wills
Radiant and burnishing, all in a glow
Rejuvenation, as this presence heals

Stilled by the moonlight, all things are calm
So is my heart by the feel of your palm
