Oh Moon - My Moon

Oh Moon - My Moon 
Softly illuminating the midnight sky
On silvery beams you serenely drift
Tranquillity in the nighttime found 
Beholden to you for the solace you gift 

Trillions of secrets cast, confidence saved 
Just a trifle touched, I smiled as you blushed
 Beneath a canopy of twinkling stars
 As lovers dared to bare, inhibitions crushed

Oh, silvery deity of this conscious night
My innermost thoughts in you I confide
Your constant presence is my comfort and joy
Oh Moon, My Moon, you are my comrade and guide
A custodian for lovers and the Muse’s aid   
Protect my journey through your comforting shade
