A Blue Moon and the Yew Tree

Behind the yew tree,
hides a blue moon.
Its enthralling beauty ,
a silhouette of deity.

Blackness of space,
glows in faint light.
Simmering and flickering,
like zillion candles.

Silence of wild,
spread far wide.
But murmurous pond,
reflects the song of moon.
 The song so spirituous,
intoxicates souls .

Inebriated lovers ,
make abiding promises.
Their  eternal witnesses,
a blue moon and the yew tree.

Its magical what those words invoke -- your poem has such a magisterial tone to it, a loud note of awe. Good work!

i rather like the next to last stanza...the silence of the wild/pond/souls....the moon will make you do some crazy things as well...smiles.
