Moonlit Litany



You are the calm to my storm.
Hushed wind cools my skin to the touch as the moon embraces Me.

Spirit calling me home; The world in darkness seems much smaller and manageable beneath your guiding light, Dark twinkling above; echoing My tears fallen so soon in sadness dismay.

Like little silver droplets dotting the sky; An ocean deep with knowledge and regrets. Yet, the moon a beacon of calm illuminates my endless night.

A wondering fathom of whispered Frey; hope.
A deep sensual dance moonlit shadows play.
Oh dark, yet wonderful night; let your calm embrace me and your gentle breeze cleanse my soul.

Let me sleep in your dark embrace so that i forget all that i have lost.
Dreaming hopes of futures to be, and fantasies folly. Simple wishes to be not I within this moment; yet freedoms to live a thousand lifetimes.

Life so fleeting, yet not impossible by dreamers dream.

O night; sweet darkness, comfort me and hold me deep in your embrace.. i am whole beneath your stars, with only you to hear my Moonlit litany...said with grace.
