Ive ignored her on most nights,
acted like i didnt care
Because she was always there,
But in darkness i  miss her  shimmering
She goes across the sky
The light of day reflecting
Down on the empty street below
As echoes of bats  bellow
Her insistent persistance,
giving hope to thieves and watchers,
A little help to party goers
she cant let them all be alone
The moon
What a loathsome night it would be
Ghosts and demons reigning,
Like on a night she is hiding
Nightmares tormenting
Dutifully she  rises again
Calls out all stars in the galaxy
And begin the journey round the earth,
Round and round for eons
Before they invented neons
She  never discloses her age
But her beauty is vintage
In the dead of the night,
When stars glitter and crickets chirp,
I hear her whisper,
How much longer?
