A Poet In Moonlight

Surrounded by starlight, lost in deep night Under street light, poet in moonlight Walking through mist thick fog A way through the woods to home made of log Quiet lake in the mountains far retreat Sand thread through toes over feet Knocked off around mid-day Sun on my face right where I lay Summer days shine or rain take it with the hurt and the pain sit tight and sway there's a boat in the bay Day turns to night sit by fire-light Surrounded by starlight lost in deep night Under street light poet in moonlight No palm trees here just pines reaching high to the skies no distinct lines yet so many lies fire in the pit stories poured over wine When the feeling is just right on the docks fed by star-light wait until the fish bite visions of white knight make all the rhymes fit tight seeking the right fight to make it an honest plight until I'm surrounded by dark night another hour just to write simple soul without sight a poet in moonlight
