Blanket of night


 

 

Moonlight casts

her shadows,

far and wide.

Bountiful places

to play and hide,

open spaces 

to lay

and watch

 the sky tonight.

To watch the stars

in fascinating

 dancing flight

like candles burning

through the 

blanket of night.

 

The moon sees all.

Hears our cries.

Every dropped call,

every exalted high.

She sees the watchman

standing at his door

as the rains pour.

Only around him,

a constant downpour.

 

She has seen

oceans boil

then come to life,

seen it take

its first strides

on the soil.

She saw the

dinosaurs munching grass

carnivores

hunting the weak.

She saw the comet crash

and a world whose

future looked bleak.

 

She will be here long

after we are gone.

She knows the evils 

that lurk 

in the heart of man.

She has watched in terror

the horrors

of humans at work.

She sees every misdeed,

every hand of greed,

stealing food

from those that need to feed.

She sees the hate.

The weight

around her neck

is tight.

She cries

every night,

but then sees

some beauty in life

and her smile grows

big and wide.
