Moon

by denny bastian 2012

Light of night

I am at your beckoning.

You shatter my

inner silence with wonder

when I see you.

I wonder

off the record now

if you’ve gone somewhat mad

when you take your beams

and grace with you

while you hide

like a timid mouse

behind a partially clouded sky.

If you should decide to

show yourself

as you lie

inside the black satin sheen 

you may ask yourself 

if it’s all worth your effort

or maybe just

forget about it

until the morning brings

daylight.
