On a Full Moon Night
Late on a dull summer night
Strolling along a rough lane
With a full moon guiding his way around,
Beams of joy spilled from the heart of a man
As the gilded moonlight twinkled on leaves
Outlining a work of art
That no man could emulate.
At the very peak of a full moon night
Ghosts are known to dance in secure circles
To intimate their eerie enchantment
Amidst baleful beats of stars
And ghastly chirps of crickets.
Sunk in such snaky thoughts, the man strolled on
Along tortuous lanes and past a bridge
When of sudden his attention was drawn
To a figure in dark grey
Trailing his path with caution.
The man asked the stranger with fright and fear:
“Who are you my friend to follow my path?
Are you to me someone quite near and dear?”
“I am your full moon shadow,”
Replied the trailing fellow.
