A Night Silhouette


God in his creative wisdom
Made many things.
One of them being the moon we see high
Above us in the evening sky.
Silvery gold in colour,
But not too bright.
Her craters are dark and mysterious.
She gradually makes her appearance
As we draw further into the night
Gracefully looking down on us in her bright array
Her movements are poetic
Like the day, which is fading away.
She can see what is going on
Both on the Earth and in the sky
Her vigil still and silent
With an ever watchful eye
The clouds so slowly moving
Closer and nearer to her
And as her face is slowly covered
She kisses the world goodnight
