Moonlight
Location
Look into the moonlight,
Tell me what you see.
I see a great tall
Whispering pine,
Silvered
By the moon.
I see the vast wide
Expanse of sky,
Devoid of light
But for the moon.
Do you see
The way the silver threads
Wind through the dark
Silken grass?
See the way the moon's
Night breeze
Makes the massive maple
Shiver at its touch?
I can look into you eyes
And see the wonderment:
Of the magic,
Of the beauty
Of something as pure as this.
I see the wild wolves there,
Just inside your soul,
Begging to be released
Into the wild nights of old.
Can you see
The wolves in mine,
Lifting their broad silver snouts
To howl
Into the moonlight,
Into your eyes?
Come,
Let us free those wolves.
For this night,
Let us be as wild
As the beasts desire,
And as pure
As the light of the moon
That slips through the branches
To stroke your silvered hair.
