Empress of the Night Sky

I cannot rush the moon, although I reckon 
That if I could, I would request she hurried. 
Though 'miles to go before I sleep' do beckon,
The Empress of the night sky moves unworried.

Ah, a fellow moon lover! There is so much poetry to draw from our nighttime friend, isn't there? Hugs ~ John
