I was inspired to write 'Nightfall' on an evening that the full moon was extraordinarily brilliant. It had a scholarly gaze looking down from a vast sky accompanied by stars, I imagined what the moon witnessed, as it traveled throughout the night.

Nightfall The Moon rises Juxtaposed in the sky Calmly pausing to oversee Lights of urban cities, that never sleep Arousing meadow, wood and stream A heavenly body Clustered in stars Nightfall
