I step out my door into the dark,
I catch the moon gazing at me,
My lips arch in a smile, such a spark.
I smile at the moons stare beautifully,
Its glow is embracing,
And its glare flawless,
Its glimmer enticing,
And its shimmer effortless…
An aloof beauty,
It makes me understand why pretty faces are the loneliest.
With only one duty, to glow…
Yet does more,
Melts my heart with overwhelming warmth,
Inspires my soul with unmatched loyalty,
I whisper;
“Blessed is he that ever stepped foot on thee, “
And deep within, i hope she knows she’s beautiful.
