Lavender Moonrise

The sunset paints the sky
Purples, pinks and grays
The sun sinks down
And my breath is stole away

The stars peek through
The painted sky's oblivion
Shimmering like sunlight off water

The full moon shows
Clearly its borrowed light flows
Over my gardens of lavender
Soft purple cones on tiny flowers
That sway in the cool breeze
The crickets serenading them
As I watch the colors fade
And the sky turn from painted
To dark blue to black

Peaceful, in the world's uncertainty
This moment is mine
To keep with me
Even if nothing makes sense.
