As if we understood,
the stars sing their ancient melody,
while the moon keeps
her soft vigil, faithful in love.
Our desires gently laid aside,
the night unveils her jewels,
and we abide in the peace
of a starlit Jerusalem.
Reading of “Starlit Home” with music by Paul & Linda McCartney.
“…while the moon keeps her soft vigil, faithful in love.” Very nice!
I love the image you paint of the moon, in her “soft vigil”–tender and so loving. ‘Tis a gentle poem, but so focused. Behold, the starlit heaven. Many blessings to you, Don.
