Moonlight dream As I sit here and gaze At the arcane wonders of the moon. Absorb the rays of heaven's light. I wish for the blessing of the endless sleep And ask of the Lord, my soul would he keep. Yet it is not death that I seek. But, rather serenity, and peace For this inheritance of the meek. I endure the blue hew Of the brilliant moon, Knowing that it will all end soon. I do not fear being named a fool And I will never stop Because I can never be full Of the magic of the moon. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
