Basking in the silvery gleam of the dimming of twilight's glow
I eagerly await the subtle beckoning
of evening's shadowy prismatic silhouette in colors
billowing into nighttime's awakening blue hour.
As l'heure bleue illuminates the sky
It promises the serenity of a peaceful night
under the silvery strawberry moon.
My upturned face, enraptured by the starry expanse
of the heavenly bodies held in magical wonder high above,
ponders the awe and imagination of creativity in Creation.
I pick succulent juicy fruits from the lazy strawberry vines
as the stars twinkle gleefully, playfully winking at the earth.
The Man In the Moon peers down at my solitary form
enchanted by my winsome upturned and enquiring face.
'Yon damsel is fair of face and lovely to behold', he mutters.
Intrigued, he plucked a moonbeam from a nearby passing cloud
and rode majestically down to my beguiling loving gaze
reaching out his hand, he invited me to ride with him
upon the lovely moonbeam floating on the wind.
Without hesitation, I took his hand quite happily
for I had fallen deeply into a love-at-first-sight daze.
Up, up to the moon we gently glided
happily throwing caution to the wind.
He sent a star to inform my family
that I would henceforth live happily as
The Lady In The Moon.
We lived content for many wax and wane of the moon
our children are the stars glowing happily in the sky

On very clear nights you can see our family romping playfully
within the confines of the silvery strawberry moon
Sometimes we ride down upon the happy moonbeams
and go peeking in at your windows
To wish you peaceful rest and a cheery goodnight!!!
