Lady of the night
Cloaked in white
Of light from
The sun, so bright
Beauty she is,
To all who behold her
Loving by night,
Leaving at first light
Coaxing even owls to wake
Shedding light on lonely shapes
Inspiring every poet alive
Witnessing tears from a million eyes
Watching children in peaceful sleep
Lovers fight and lovers weep
And the homeless take a great deep breathe,
For a day gone by, in quiet relief
Gently she rocks, all to sleep
Just for a little while
Amid dreams and peace
And in the waking of the eye,
She’s chased by the sun
And engulfed by the night,
The moon, mistress of light.
