-MOONLIGHT

THE DARKNESS COMES BEFORE THE DAWN
AND SADNESS DROPS FROM EVERY PETAL
THORNS, LIKE SPIKES, PERSUDE THE TURNING OF THE LAWN
AND BEYOND THE SIGHT, WARMS THE SUN
SILENT MECHANISMS OF TURNING BLACK
EVADE THE SONG OF SUMMER SET
YET, THERE IS STILL AN OPENING
AND BLANDLY I GO FORTH
DISAPPERING INTO THE RAMP OF LIGHT
NEVER TO BE FELT IN THE BREATH OF NOON
AND SO IT BENDS AWAY FROM ME
AND I SCAMPER TO THE TUNE
AND DANCE IN THE FACE OF THE MAN
IN THE MOON
