Moonbath

The moonlight pours down
blanketing the earth with its magic, white light
Everything is still
The hush of thousands of dreamers fills the night
The clarity of the moment is palpable
Giant trees form majestic shadows while holding court in the night
My laundry makes its presence felt in the moonlight
court jester ghosts adding punctuation to this ethereal scene
A tiny bat dips down and cuts a quick swatch through the sky
in search of unseen prey
I sit transfixed with my love and soak up the beauty
The moon trembles and begins to rock gently back and forth
he doesn’t see it, but I do… a huge pendulum moving ever so slightly
counting the moments, slower than usual, but such is the magic of this night
We head inside to join the others in the hush of dreams
