A slice of the milky moon
Sits silent on a clear, calm night
So quiet it feels almost colorless
A rising breath of shadows on faith
Filling the dusky hush with inspiration
Grace that lifts souls to new heights
Replaces darkness with reassurance
And ignites the fires of dancing promises
Breaking through the nocturnal wars
Of melancholy and dread, furious black!

Stars shimmer, lighting up the sky
With a moving touch from the soundless
Rush of stardust and whispering giggles
Bound up in laughter so alive, so thrilling
Echoing through the ebony waves, intimately
Foretelling of the hope that brings awake
Seas of cool, clear waters – second chances
To listen to the heart and follow its behaviors
With a kiss to the wind, blowing across hills
Wishing on the stars, insights so alive

Night breaks through the thoughts
In dreams that color thoughts in hues
Of passion and purity, penetrating peace
Glowing through the solar system’s edge
Lasting longer than the few hours of blackness
Growing fiery and fated to find truths
Beyond the sensations of a new dawn
Lighting up the sky with a brilliant sun
Who knows that this night has not won
We still feel the flow of ancient dreams
Laughing beyond the limits of the lunar 
Reveries who blast through imaginations
With wistful wishes and wonders – falling
Across spirits – breathing sensations
Of life across the shadows of night
Blowing beauty across the heavenly scene
Inspiration through those who believe
Darkness balances the light of day
And caresses the soul with a respite
A relief from the daily exertion and efforts
A place where mindlessness can ease pains

A slice of silvery moon lights the night
With a breather from days so exciting
A brilliance to color us in hues of gentle
Caressing the mind with thoughts so tender
Awakening hearts and souls to renewed hope
Bound up in threads of sincerity and love!
