Moon
The dark is not scary
You are just as bright as the sun
But in darkness you illuminate
The tallest of trees
Whisper sweet dreams
Lull the people in their beds to sleep
And hold all the secrets of the night
Moving through the phases of my life
One cycle at a time
Monsters come awake in your light
And flowers bend over,
Ready for the much needed escape
From treacherous humidity
My hair thanks you for cooling the air
And moving the tide
Now I can finally tie my curls down with a silk scarf
And sleep in your radiance
