Joy

Sometimes moonlight raises

During the dusk of day,

And mysterious wonderment

Emerges slowly,so so slowly,

Inside the core of the soul,

Into the shadows of the eyes

Of the beholder,

Witnessing the beauty

Of the moon's enchanted presence,

That grew in the hearts

Of the youthful watchers,

Outside in the shade,

Who didn't see the darkness,

Of the night,

Until the moon itself

Decided on a time

To sleep.

In the depths,

Of their dreams,

And rose again,

The next instant night,

Over sleepiness,

In the locker of another carrier.
