Black and White World

In the black and white world that’s here at night Keeping limited viewing with our sight The moon is present and helps a little And the rain doesn’t help, it belittles You can see by the small amount of light But without color, which adds to the fright The rain is pouring and the moon’s beaming Having me to see somewhat, it’s gleaming I walk within this rain, the moon to play I don’t know what to do nor what to say I stand too long and I’m drenched completely I’m one with nature, I’m surely crafty I go along now in the black and white My eyes aren’t able to see enough light

Russell, I knew you were from the fabulous night of nature. Impressive moon you share, spreads enough imagery through the small amount of light.. Black or white. Glad your view sees more than just the dimness-- Deep, and semi-dark.... Enjoyed your crafty pen... LINDA
