Moonlight

Soft tranquil waves

Flow into the sea

Brightened by the moonlight

Sheltered by the trees

The moon gleams sadly

Like a pearl in the sky

Missing from its shell

And lets out a lonely cry

How can one describe

The taste of moonlight

Or the fragrance of the night

That holds such a brilliant sight

I smell fresh air and salty oceans

As I welcome the heavenly glow

Washing over my body

Into me it flows

Such is the effect of the radiant moon

On us mortals who dare to loom

Over the peaceful land and doom

All the earth to days of fiery noon
