were burning with the blush of spring,
I saw thee not about me shine
nor all about the robin's wing.

But when the skies had lost their hue
and sunny lights no longer played,
I saw thee and I blest thee too
for glowing on the dreary way.

I only ask one thing of thee:

When life and love have lost their bloom,
may all your glory shine to me
to light.. if not to warm the gloom.

I loved this. I've spent many lonely hours standing at my window looking
out at the moon and the stars. It's loneliness I feel most acutely then,
but yes, the moon lights and can warm the night - as it brings the beauty
to light. This was beautiful imagery!! Awesome work!! Once again I
enjoyed your poetry. I look forward to seeing more.

Billy~

Your work is always so breath taking and beautiful. I love the moon. You have done a splendid job with this write.

When life and love have lost their bloom,
may all your glory shine to me
to light.. if not to warm the gloom.

Ah yes such beautifully penned words from such a beautiful poet.
Well done Billy~
love always,

Of course you know the title had to draw me here ..

Soft and graceful as the moon itself, hun. These words
placed so gently upon the page feel like a delicate caress

it's beautiful .. as are you
