The Moon at Night

By EarthDragon

Summer breezes cool at night
shadows lurching cast not fright
crickets in the grass at play
never heard from in the day
stars shine down the only light
planes and satellites break the sight

siren in town rings out a fire
men rush in, for need is dire
birds call out from far away
“Time for bed,” they seem to say
I am not ready, I can not go
I wait to see the moonlight’s glow

Above the peaks, as if on cue
she casts a beam on evening dew
I thank her for another day
and silently I begin to pray
that all my days be rich in love
Until I dance with stars above

Thanks to EarthDragon for graciously providing us with this poetic masterpiece.
