Water, transparent as crystal, <br />Tastes of darkness when night falls, <br />While on evening sands, in fitful <br />Patterns, pebbles like trelissed shawls <br />Faintly gleam as in day-time's white. <br /> <br />Moon wilfully plays shadow games <br />Of catch as you can, with sheen <br />Repeating sun's stronger rays, framed <br />Now in luna-light, our dreams <br />Appear translucently moon-bright. <br /> <br />Not pearls hid in deep rocky seas, <br />Nor gull-haunted boating bays <br />Can keep you from penning meaning <br />For me, in dark's tender ways, <br />Soft versed love pledged in moonbeam's light.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/catching-the-moon/
