A Moonlit Night
Dancing moonbeams shone down
cavorting with the playful shadows
the lake gleaming with silvery tones
as the beams danced on its surface
The only sound to be heard is that
of a hooting owl perched up high
keeping a close eye for its dinner
suddenly silently swooping down
In the middle of the still lake
a perfect replica of the moon
that orb of mysterious magic
captured for a brief few seconds
Then it disappears as clouds pass
blanketing out its light momentarily
the world now very dark and quiet
as if nature herself holds her breath
Sliding back out into open skies
it hangs there all silvery bright
casting its shadows once more
filling the world with its light
