A beautiful full moon over Cape Town last night :)
I am a wolf woman, a coyote, howling abundantly with joy as She gently bathes me in loving light.
"The moon stood silent in the sky,
And looked upon our earth:
The clouds divided, passing by,
In homage to her worth.
There was a dance among the leaves
Rejoicing at her power,
Who robes for them of silver weaves
Within one mystic hour.
There was a song among the winds,
Hymning her influence —
That low-breathed minstrelsy which binds
The soul to thought intense.
And there was something in the night
That with its magic wound us;
For we — oh! we not only saw,
But felt the moonlight around us."
And looked upon our earth:
The clouds divided, passing by,
In homage to her worth.
There was a dance among the leaves
Rejoicing at her power,
Who robes for them of silver weaves
Within one mystic hour.
There was a song among the winds,
Hymning her influence —
That low-breathed minstrelsy which binds
The soul to thought intense.
And there was something in the night
That with its magic wound us;
For we — oh! we not only saw,
But felt the moonlight around us."
