“Moonflower”

“Moonflower”

Moonflower, soft petals of white

blooming before the moon’s ethereal light.

The summer breeze, so calm and cool

Fireflies dancing above a lily-pond pool.

The beauty of the night mysterious and pure

holds to us a dreamy allure.

The moon’s reflective rays descend bathing the moonflower in love that transcends.

She does not fear the stillness of night, nor envy the sunflowers growing in the sun light.

You cannot see the light if you do not know the night, but most do not recognize the beauty before sunrise.

Unfathomable and serene, she has no need to define, content are her roots in time.

Forever to bathe in the moon’s calming light, watching the moths and fireflies.

The beauty in the darkness so hard to find belongs to her alone, amongst the hidden fields of life.
