Darkness Creeps Into the Eve

The eastern sky is smiling As the blue begins to fade Darkness creeps into the eve' Like a willow masked in jade Hues of red and orange Brighten up the moon As if the sky was all lit up By a giant white balloon As I sit and watch the wings of bats Swerving through the sky I'd paint a forever smile...on the moon If only I could fly

I love the moon and I love this poem, Charlie. I always feel smiled upon by the graceful presence of Luna. If I ever see a smile, I'll know who put it there' Cheers, brother ~ John
