POEMS - 2017 - Strawberry Moon

   

STRAWBERRY MOON

The Strawberry Moon lingers a little,

Into the morning dawn,

To savour sweet aromas,

Awakened by the sun.

Dew drops glisten with twice the sparkle,

Upon the berry’s vine,

And a double glaze of sugar,

Perfumes the nectar’s wine.

Dusty pink the Strawberry Moon,

Crests above the land,

From where she sends a gentle kiss,

Caught in the sun’s own hand.

“I’ll be away for just a minute,

Tarry my leaving though,

For double is the wisdom in it,

That helps the fruit to grow.”

Song of Songs 6:10 (KJV)

Who is this that appears like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, majestic as the stars in procession?
