“It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the moon.” Galileo Galilei

Baring Her Soul

The revelled edge of night's memory
softened to a surreal stillness of
quiet beauty, the calm before the 
passion, the moment of adventurous
eyes seeking the other's horizon of
subtle knowing in delicate movement,
moon smiled, shed her shawl, baring
her soul for embrace.

    I like the anticipation in this and the image of the moon ‘baring her soul.’

    I envisioned, as I read, the moon casting aside a “shawl” of clouds. Beautiful imagery. A lovely poem for Valentine’s Day! ❤ All the best!
