Oh moon,
Once again caught in your sublime beauty,
By your bright and orange glow,
Like the sunset in the African plains,
But instead with your navy backdrop,
The few clouds surrounding you-
Perfectly in place,
Almost turning into new found islands,
Underneath your reign
Oh how lucky can I be-
When I see your powerful shine glazing on the sea,
Lighting up a path,
All the way to the horizon-
For the creatures deep below,
So they too can feel your glow
Sitting there so still,
The whole of nature quiets,
I had never felt the wind to halt in such a way,
Not a single leaf would shake,
Nor a buzzing bug dare disturb,
They stop in awe-
You really are the mother of it all
They listen to your will,
And silently drift to slumber-
As your simply there,
Watching over what you must,
And protect them while they sleep,
Their lives once again-
- fall into your loving trust.
