last night
i was the moon
full
ripe
hung on an indigo canvas
painted with thousands of twinkling lights
my silver mercury glow
reflected in
still waters
meandering rivers
crashing waves
and your sea glass eyes
full of awe
full of wonder
last night
i was the moon

And there, perhaps, is why the ancients always saw the moon as a goddess.

I loved this from the title onward. It seems I have a thing for word meagre, feeling rich verse … and you absolutely excel at this genre. 🙂
