Magical Moonlight: ( Sonnet)

Magical moonlight inspires poetry,

Music and art in strange, primeval ways.

It guides in transcribing the night\'s vast dreams.

It caresses with its soft, golden rays.

It reveals silvery secrets and signs

Of the stars. It also blesses the earth,

Wherever it radiates, glows or shines.

O it shows us what life is truly worth!

Magical moonlight teaches us to see

With clear, fresh eyes. It stirs the heart and mind.

It beautifies myriad prosaic scenes.

Reality\'s too much for humankind.

Henceforth, we require other subtle modes

Of Being. Winged joys soar above dark woes.
