cactus moon, makes me swoon as stars appear tonight; my eyes reveal the blossoms frill have folded for the night. but not my mind; I often find my dreams are locked so tight- on fragrant flowers and soft rain showers and faces by moonlight. bring me beauty, love’s my duty, sharing is my plight; and in the garden the Moon is warden, the Universe is right; as long as life and sharpened strife yield flowers to sunlight.
An evening to reflect on the purpose for two people... To understand this poem, you would be familiar with cactus flowers and how they only bloom during the day, folding at night to reopen in the morning. And this goes on for only a couple of weeks. Like my Love, the blooms are worth watching for but temporary. The darkness can close them down but I'll wait with the needles as long as the blooms will return by day.
