Moon
Atop the hill,
We stand
Still.
Bright-
ly raining down
On our
Town.
Moonlight
And shadows,
Never seen like this before,
Speaking softly some deep message,
Penetrating to the core.
Stalls,
And starts again.
A leaf
Falls.
Soft-
ly cooing dove,
Her mate
Calls.
Soaking
In beauty,
Feeling that our time has come,
Culminating in this moment,
Nothing needful left undone.
Free,
In our hearts,
In our minds,
At least this moment.
Oh,
Rising moon,
You have tamed
Our every torment.
Moon
Atop the hill,
We stand
Still.
Bright-
ly raining down
On our
Town.
Moonlight
And shadows,
Never seen like this before,
Speaking softly some deep message,
Penetrating to the core.
