The Moonlight's Gleam

Night approached and tucked its kids into bed It planted kisses on their cheeks as it looked Into their tired eyes with hope and inspiration That one day, they'll be the leaders of the future It focuses its light on its beloved Adding glow to their faces that are purified From evil and angst that survived in some Becoming their soul's strong and powerful stem That clutches to every feeling they can release To show freedom's companion and innocence Eyes ponder at those scars embroidered on the moon's surface Wondering how they could hurt a dear's visage That so bright and en lighting Sprinkling faith into the seekers of the night's passaging As they strive to find adventure Eventhough their exposure to danger Is so close and might attack Swallowing them into their depth's sac Oh what beauty you spread in the night sky What light you embed within each eye You are a faithful night's guard You are the one that obtains the secrets of the world As you watch everything that happens at night Yet, no time shall pass as beautiful as tonight For tonight is the time for me to ask you a favor Maybe no one asked before Oh moon shine upon me Upon the ones that knelt on their knees, Upon the ones that walk through the righteous path Upon the ones that believed in the oath Upon the beloved and the adored For you, moon, are a chandelier of guide You are the eyes of a mother You are my friend I shall always treasure As I wave goodbye Dipping into the deep sleep with a blink of an eye....
