Mystic Moon

to watch this mystic moon
run her course across the sky
gliding so serenely
over the dark horizon

such a large round orb
almost touching the trees
travelling along with us
on her nightly journey

with her patchy markings
and craters that look so clear
seen with the naked eye
as they stand out so proud

silently floating onward
through the darkened sky
brightening up the landscape
with soft cosmic lights

for this heavenly sphere
appears every evening
arching across the galaxy
to disappear each morning

so as you look to the moon
travelling on her orbit path
know that she will guide you
each and every dark night..!
