Moon

The dark is not scary 
You are just as bright as the sun
But in darkness you illuminate
The tallest of trees
Whisper sweet dreams 
Lull the people in their beds to sleep 
And hold all the secrets of the night 
Moving through the phases of my life 
One cycle at a time

Monsters come awake in your light 
And flowers bend over,
Ready for the much needed escape 
From treacherous humidity 
That is signaled by your arrival 
My hair thanks you for cooling the air 
And moving the tide
Now I can finally tie my curls down with a silk scarf 
And sleep in your radiance
