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
