Hunting for Moonlight

Hunting for Moonlight

I comb the night for silver threads,
where shadows meet the light’s ascent.
With hands outstretched, I trace the edge,
as stars dissolve in soft lament.

Beneath a sky of whispered sighs,
I tread where moon’s bright secrets hide.
And in its glow, my heart replies:
Come hunt for moonlight by my side.

In fields of night where shadows grow,
We’ll gather light from silver glow.
With open hands, you trace the beams
that dance on quiet lakes and streams.

Each sliver caught in palm or jar,
A gentle gift from worlds afar.
I’ll bring the moonlight close to keep,
To light our dreams as we sleep.
