We have very creative ways of describing sunlight. We talk about a “shaft of sunlight”, “a beam of sunlight”, “a drop of sunshine” What about moonlight? How does the moon shine? Brightly, fully, clearly, eerily. I can’t find any other descriptions. I look forward to your feedback.

Not really what you’re looking for, but the Swedish language has a concept called “mångata” (“moon street” or “moon road”). It’s when the light from the moon is reflected on the surface of the water, creating a road-like pattern.
“From the vast, invisible ocean of moonlight overhead fell, here and here, a slender, broken stream that seemed to plash against the intercepting branches and trickle to earth, forming small white pools among the clumps of laurel. But these leaks were few and served only to accentuate the blackness of his environment, which his imagination found it easy to people with all manner of unfamiliar shapes, menacing, uncanny, or merely grotesque."
