Aroused by such a wonderous sight,
Behold the beauty of dawn's precious light.
Craving the rays to sweep me away,
Drenched in the golden beams of the day.
Emerging from beyond the horizon,
Flames of our universe, brightly ablazen.
Glorious to feel, the warm basking glow,
Heat radiating to the earth down below.
Inviting, he calls, come dip with me,
Just relax, enjoy, and soon you shall see.
Keep shining, I thought, at a lazy pace,
Let your bronzing beams caress my face.
Move your celestial body across the skies,
Noon is coming, as you stand at full rise.
Over the world, you watch time go by,
Preparing to soon bid the day goodbye.
Quietly drifting from east to west,
Remembering each rise is a brand new quest.
Slowly you head to the horizon again,
Trekking your way, bringing day's end.
Under the clouds, dance past the skyline,
Vaguely winking, for you know it is time.
Wishing the world well as they sleep,
Xyris floating soft, in dreams they keep.
Yellow light of life, we shall see you tomorrow,
Zig-zagging the skies without any sorrow.
Zooming the skies, a sudden new globe,
Young in the night, an orangy lobe.
Xeric, your surface, yet amazing still,
Wonderous in the dreams you fulfill.
Very much a part of the cycle of living,
Unseen at times, but still just as giving.
Twelve times a year, you rise in full,
Same count you can be viewed as null.
Ranging the globe, keeper of the stars
Quintessential, travelling wide and far.
Playfully make the tides rise and fall,
Oceans and seas, you command them all.
Nurtuting the earth with the air we breathe,
Mistress of sleep and dreams you weave.
Lady Luna, your light is a precious gift,
Knowing your existence gives us each a lift.
Joyfully, the evening skies you cross,
Instinctively guiding the weak and the lost.
Hanging your circular form with no frown,
Glowing dims, as you slowly go down.
Forged with the sky, your fading light,
Embark on your journey, it's the end of the night,
Day's coming soon, it's time to move on.
Caress the skies until all your lights gone.
But promise us, we'll see you once more,
Although your shape will be different than before.

Thank you Jeannie. The challenges help keep me going and away from other things I don't want to touch on. Been in a severe depression the last few hours and I don't think it will get better anytime soon. So hopefully can keep my writing positive and my mind in the right state. Appreciate the comments hun.

Thank you for the comments, so much appreciated. It took some time to run it all together and make sense, but it was fun.
Storm -
wow, just wow! I saw the contest and I wondered just how hard this would be to do. Im sure that it was extremely difficult, but u made it seem so effortless. Nothing seemed forced at all, it just flowed from one line to another so perfectly. Amaising poem, I wish you well in the contest.

Great write, I really enjoyed the flow, and the rthym was fantastic, you lead the reader along with your words. John -
i have just done a quick check then and it did come up so i apologise, it is fine
-
i have never known it to be spelled that way, it is not in either of the dictionaries i have here or has ever been in one i have ahd in the past!
-
Thank you for the comment. But according to Webster's dictionary, wonderous can be spelled with or without the E. It is acceptable both ways.
Storm -
a good piece with the rhyme though you are misspelling wondrous, it has no e in it. spill ink and twist me into the crazy shape of love...
-
Thank you Sandy. It's not as easy as one thinks not only to grasp some of those letters once, but twice. Good luck judging.
Storm -
Oh wow, Storm! This is beautiful! Loved it! You met the challenge so very well!
Thank you for being a part of the contest! Love ya, muches!
