Music Under New Moon (Inspired by ‘Memory of You’ by Lavender)

My sleep being deep and brief
Waking to the new moon sky
Out under the stars I step
Time suspended in my eye

A shining perfect orchestration
Singing down from up above
Performing double brightly
Songs of universal love

These questions with half answers
Become a lavender sunrise
The stars have reached crescendo
They’re saying their goodbyes

They leave, and leave me thankful
On this and every single day
Grateful is a habit now
Love will always find a way

Hi, Tim,
I can feel your energy in this piece! Gratitude! So wonderful to experience the simplicity and the mystery of the autumn sky. My favorite lines: "The stars have reached crescendo, They're saying their goodbyes..." What a performance! Beautiful poetry.
Peace and love to you on this Thanksgiving Day.

Beautifully written

I really adore all your nature based poetry. There is a certain tenderness and like Lavender said, simplicity that is calming and refreshing. Just pleasant to read. Your use of language and rhyme rolls in harmony while being read. Great job!
