A Wigwam for a Goose's Bridle

"Parched glissando of moonlight"

may be the inspiration

to break the drought.

I had searched within

for images to describe,

but forgot to look without.

Then you arrived 

out of deep blue

and took me by surprise.

Now things mundane 

take on new light

since I looked in your eyes.

The world is draped

in moonlit hue,

and tears are bittersweet,

since now they may

be shared with you,

no solitude's complete.

Dedicated, with thanks, to the knight in shining armour whom I never really believed existed.
