Did you hear the moon last night?
Hushed light on rising
Silver sibilance
Behind the clouds
In a first quarter
Pianissimo
Did you hear the moon last night?
Fulsome waterfall of light
Pouring down to light the streets
Casting faint shadows
But a great fortissimo of glow.
Did you hear the moon last night?
Silent as the breath
Of a sleeping babe
Gone dark with the turning away
In a shadow from our earth.
