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
