The Face of the Moon

The moon's face is veiled
hiding her radiant beauty
in the evening sky

On land and on sea
shadows can be seen moving 
under her dim light

Cautious and careful
each move with a measured step
precisely taken

Night becomes shelter
for stalkers and criminals
when moon hides her face

Darkness is embrace
by wanton thieves and robbers
on a moonless night

When moon shows her face
earth becomes a lovers' lane
for the poets' hearts
