The Mystic Bard
A playful bard the moon casts a winking eye
To shy blinking stars playing hide and seek
Miming his brilliance on high in dark skies
Flirting thru sequined nights a shy mystique
For lovers of the night rapt by romance
Entranced by quixotic moon dreams urging
Eclipsing the light in shadows to dance
A hidden soiree, lovers converging
Beguiled by this sweet and romantic sight
Neath the lunar poet's grand illusion
Captured by its rapture he rules the night
a sonneteer portraying loves allusion
The moon is a bard a mystic with spells
For lovers who wish their stories to tell
