That
beams
so bright
above me;
reflecting on
you, I feel blessed.

I think Heaven must truly love me,
to feed me milk from her own breast
and, weaving silk of silver, clothe the
whole world in a shining dress.

I try to reach up and just touch you;
repay your glowing, tender kiss;
find infant words to tell how much your
smile lifts up my heart to bliss.

WW, really good poem, I loved the image, 'find infant words', which gives the moon a parental characteristic, and also 'clothe the whole world in a shining dress'. You don't need the asterisk though, in my opinion, I think it detracts (only very slightly) from the poem, and readers will know that it is the first line.

Thanks, Steve, for your comment and for your helpful advice. I will remove the asterisk as you've suggested. Glad you liked it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Thank you, moonphish. The eye of the moon often watches me, through the window, as I type on my computer and so it's a regular inspiration. Glad you enjoyed it.
