And pray be patient kindly lords of night
forgive the hold we have on setting day
so great the joy in fading rays of light
when blue and darker skies embrace the bay.
As setting sun invades the ebbing tide
a glow descends of changing care and finds
no dreams forgot no loving wish denied
as shining water teases playful minds;
A pale and winsome moon has grown so full
and softly loves her dark and longing eyes
while kissing sands and tides beneath the pull
so softly murmur love to balmy skies.
Oh moon afar come touch her in the night
with my whispered wishes and loving light

Flawless meter and rhyme. I couldn't ask for better in this regard. The imagery is lovely. I love the picture of watching the end of day with some regret for the briefness of the sunset, grudginly allowing that the night has a beauty all her own. Thanks so much for entering my contest!
