Beneath a Woodland Moon

from The Kiss of Spirit and Flesh by Leafblade

about

Fair silver spirits, playing in the Milkwood,
Yield like a dream,
So that I may dream,
May dream, may dream,
Of your tingling, musical words of love;
Sonnets decked in silvery love…

The Tryst
(Vol.1 Selected Poetry “The Valley of the Cross”, by Sean Jude)

lyrics

A time, it was, beneath the loving moon;
Upon the flute he played his gentle tunes;
She stared, entranced, into the dancing fire,
And neither thought beneath the loving moon…

The candle flames flickered in the wind -
Overhead, the trees began to sing;
Silver moon and silver spirits wept,
Whispering and playing in the wood.

A time, it was, beneath the loving moon;
The midnight fire in the soft wind blown,
Entrancing they who laughed within its glow,
Like winter children playing in the snow.

A time, it was, for those who from afar
Heard the rhythmic beating woodland heart,
Delighting in a solace made for two -
Lovers lost within the midnight blue.

No, ‘twas not a dream, that time of
Warmth and peace, while spirits with ease watched:
He, ‘neath the moon, upon his flute,
She, entranced by fire’s soothing:
Such infinite closeness,
In silence, deep:
Love’s reveries and its ways.
