The  Moonbeam -------

The moonbeam at night

gently shines on a searching mind

with sorrow filled, it's lost to be still;

the soft light of the moonbeam

keeps the vast landscape

of sadness hidden;

the forest moody and distant,

even though the light silently 
is spreading over the trees,

over all creatures sleeping;

ah the moonbeam at night

hides the romance of the heart

and its winsome wings

woven into the moonbeam

and over the horizon

up to the dim stars

in a distant sky

dark blue

in the beam of the light,

it is touching a restless mind

beyond stillness,

beyond the throbbing heart,

but you Dear in your spacious soul

feel the softness and the cool

of a moonbeam

and a calm,

as thought races over space

towards you,

to ask for the balm

of your gentle heart!
