The Moon’s Love Song
Last night, the moon sang me a love song
A serenade from the night wanderer is never wrong
In the morning, a warmth arose from the ground
That hovered above the dawn without a sound
Everywhere I walked, the borrowed moon rays
Glided nonchalantly through the haze
And covered the world in a golden shroud
As nature stood there, bountiful and proud
I witnessed tree-house sanctuaries
Become homes for mystical faeries
And I saw burnt-out hollow logs
Turn into comfy beds for bugs and frogs
And in the glowing leftover moonlight
Peaceful sunflowers welcomed the sight.
Yesterday, the mockingbird sang me a lullaby
And the full moon heard no lie or alibi
