Serenity Moon

Beneath serenity's blush moon,
On the canvas of dusky dunes,
Shadowy portraits are displayed,
Brushed over grains of pearly gray.
Along a winding, windswept path,
Silver-green wisps of tall sea grass
Circle in moonlit minuets,
Tracing patterns in smooth vignettes.
A sand pail castle's mystery
Of opal turrets by the sea,
Shimmers in vernal vestiments,
With shell-encrusted parapets.
Luminous specters, sea foam ghosts,
Hauntingly drift along the coast.
Quicksilver traces, starry blooms,
Glisten beneath a still blush moon.

I can see the picture forming and the the waves lapping at the shoreline from the painted words you have written, Joan. Excellent work.

Joan,
As always, your words do wonders to soothe me and keep my head on straight. If only real life could retain such beauty, captured in that perfect moment of bliss. Thanks for catching it for me, even if only for a moment.
