Moonlit Whispers: A Nocturnal Reverie by Willow Wood
In the velvet hush of night’s embrace,
The moon, a jewel in sky’s vast space,
Casts silver whispers on the land,
A soft, serene, celestial hand.
Stars, like dreams in distant flight,
Weave tales of old in quiet light,
Their twinkling threads a cosmic guide,
Through shadows deep, where secrets hide.
Leaves whisper in the gentle breeze,
A symphony among the trees,
Nocturnal creatures wake and stir,
In moonlit realms where visions blur.
An owl's call, a fox's tread,
In this sacred night, where dreams are fed,
Reflections rise, like tides at sea,
In the tranquil night’s infinity.
The night, a mirror for the soul,
Where silent thoughts and whispers roll,
In moonlit glow, we find our way,
Through dreams and musings till the day.
Oh, moonlit whispers, soft and sweet,
In your embrace, the world’s complete,
A nocturnal dance, serene and bright,
In the mystical beauty of the night.
