Stargazing.....

Have you ever just had those nights, where you tend to just look out your window and stargaze? Today I had one of those nights, and I started to think about the moon, and this old wives tale about it. They say, (I don't know who they are either, don't worry) that when you look at the moon, it alters your sight. Every time you look at the moon the way you see and perceive things changes, I don't know if this is true or not. But ever since my friend told me this, when I star gaze and look at the moon my mind starts to wonder if it really is true. I decided to write a little something about the moon, I was inspired, so here it is!

Lady of the Night

somber silence enfolds the earth,
the night is young, the world is stilled,
the whispers pf the dying hearth,
inviting in the frosted chills,

there she is in heavens sight,
gazing down at slumbered guests,
coating them in silver light,
beckoning them to join the quest,

she knows of all that they hold,
their dreams, their terrors, their earthly thoughts,
she chills their body with their cold,
and chooses them, another's caught,

a temptress with her radiance,
she calls them to behold her,
drawing them, their innocence,
seems to make her colder,

for she, the lady of the night,
is not what she may seem,
her coolness changing into fright,
as she plagues, 'most every dream,

altering judgment before the start,
contorting all they thought inane,
once in the grip of her cruel heart,
they'll never be the same....

she's the lady of the night.


"Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anyone..." -Mark Twain.

Goodnight!
