My Moon

I watched it last night

Dusky clouds drift across the surface of the moon

As I sit and dream, of better things, I feel it pulling me

It hypnotises, mesmerises, me and those who watch

 

It hides away, then comes again and swims across the night

The stars are there, winking at me, playing their silent tunes

The clouds that billow, puff and bloom, then briskly blow away

Play hide and seek with the moon, then leave it clear as day

 

My heart is up there with the moon, watching those I love

It comforts me to know, that I can watch them from above

10 times a year I can be seen. I'm shining bright and clear

But when it's dark, don't think I'm gone, I'm watching from above
