As moonlight sleeps On the bank of a stream Ever so peacefully In the dead of twilight Undisturbed I gently tap my foot In the still water, Creating Ripples that brings it Happily to life, dancing With reckless abandon Rhythmically Just for me Date written: 09/23/2018

Oh, that's beautiful! I think we all want a chance to be in the dead of moonlight, undisturbed. I used to go running at night. It's such a special time!
