My Friend the Moon

When at last the day does end
I shall greet the moon
It is my one and only friend
that accompanies my room
It fills my mind with silence
as the night slips slowly by 
and all the time it's shining
it never blinds my eye
And when it's time for it to sleep
it slips into the sea
and sends its friend
the cheery sun
to come 'awaken me

In most urban places skies have no more remained what they were a few decades back. Many like me, compulsive lookers of sky, can easily identify with your poem.
