Silent Night

As night falls upon the quiet harbor,

the lonely moon slowly rises into the sky,

Soft light illuminating the water with a glow,

Casting gentle light on the boats sitting so patiently,


High above,

It shines alone,

A solitary beacon,

Watching silently as life carries on,

Never late, 

Giving us light in the dark


But though the moon may seem so far away,

It remains a constant presence in our lives,

A reminder of the beauty that surrounds us,

And the infinite mysteries of the universe.


What a  celestial wonder,

The glowing orb which gives us light at night,

Cherish the moments we have,

When it's reflecting off our eyes.
