I throw back my head. <br />Watching the snow fall around me. <br />Swarming around me like a silvery cloak. <br />Cool and soft upon my tongue. <br /> <br />Gazing at the lumisicent orange moon. <br />That hangs in the dark sky. <br />Watching me, casting everything in dimly lit shadows. <br />As the snow sparkles and shimmers. <br /> <br />I look at the big beautiful moon. <br />Wondering, why, does it shine so bright? <br />Casting everything with shadows. <br />But can see through the eerie white light. <br /> <br />Gazing at the lumisicent orange moon. <br />That hangs in the dark sky. <br />Watching me, casting everything in dimly lit shadows. <br />As the snow sparkles and shimmers. <br /> <br />Look in the clear crystal water before me. <br />The moon winks back at me. <br />Deep dark pitch surrounding it. <br />As it hangs so mightly and free. <br /> <br />Gazing at the lumisicent orange moon. <br />That hangs in the dark sky. <br />Watching me, casting everything in dimly lit shadows. <br />As the snow sparkles and shimmers. <br /> <br />I sit down, and fold my legs under me. <br />Watching and taking in the scene. <br />As the stars shine so peacefully. <br />And light up the trees and the grass surrounding me. <br /> <br />Gazing at the lumisicent orange moon. <br />That hangs in the dark sky. <br />Watching me, casting everything in dimly lit shadows. <br />As the snow sparkles and shimmers. <br /> <br />As a fog surrounds the water's surface. <br />Obscuring the moon and blankets the stars. <br />I sit under it, wondering if it will come back out again. <br />Shining like brightly lit glass shard. <br /> <br />Gazing at the lumisicent orange moon. <br />That hangs in the dark sky. <br />Watching me, casting everything in dimly lit shadows. <br />As the snow sparkles and shimmers.<br /><br />Valerie Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-winter-night-part-ii/
