Silver glistens on a bare rooftop
Night stoops onto the cement sidewalks
We plan our lives, our joys, our sorrows
And stare at the unusually bright moon tonight.

It seems like a golden orb
Peeking from beneath a muddy sea
It's glow diffusing into the clouds and the air
We stand and stare
And then close our eyes
As we grasp for the invisible warmth
That surrounds us
Tonight.
