Moon's Prowess

Here is the full moon Proudly displaying its grace Please meet me outside It calls me, in dignity Its crazy voice calling me Now I follow it The commands that exclaim out I enjoy the moon And all its wondrous exploits Pleasure to behold at night Clouds come to meet it Covering over a scared voice It pleads not to be Inadvertently covered A moment of complete rush I fold my arms at The full moon, proudly beaming Through the weak and silent clouds Showing its prowess throughout The calm of the moon’s power
