Moonlight

Moonlight reflecting off a blackened canvas of night’s design,
sultrily dancing in between the legs of models 
parading down nature’s runway 
underneath a blanket of stars.
Like a feather teasing the shore’s skin in a sensual game, 
engineered precisely and charismatically to explore every unique detail. 
A ballroom dance choreographed for inexperienced souls.
A silk scarf wrapped around the elongated necks of African women,
emphasizing their individuality.
Whispering lullabies to their children under the storybook of night,
illuminating their dreams with its silver lining.
A fairy tale ending.
