She mounts the heavens nightly in the cold.
In her curving orbit stately, ancient grace.
She eradicates the day, brings forth the night.
I never feel so loved as in the night.
Surrounded by her light, her gaze so cold,
the stars surrounding her with twinkling grace.
No lovers could compare to her in grace,
the way she carves out pathways in the night
and bathes me in her nimbent light, so cold.
Cold and full of grace, the moon appears
and guides me gently through each winter night.

I missed the tritina slam in the coffee house, so I had to join in after the fact. 🙂

I felt the cold quiet of space, love how that contrasts with “feel so loved.” This is my favorite line:

Fantastic opening line. And I really like the details in the third stanza, only, what does nimbent mean? I couldn’t find it in a paper or on-line dictionary?

Nimbent is French for “to enshroud.” 🙂
