Under The Moon

_______________________________________________

His penetrating gaze makes my spine tingle

It pierces my very flesh

His icy stare chills my bones

Yet a warmth surges in my breast

_______________________________________________

The man in the moon looks down on me

He keeps me safe from harm

His great strong arms surround me

I know I'm never alone

_______________________________________________

My breath rips out in rags

My fragile form exposed

But even now I'm not afraid

I don't feel the need to hide

________________________________________________

Because the man in the moon looks down on me

He makes me feel alive

I'm bubbling with excitement

My eyes prick - I cry

________________________________________________

The sea of my emotions is calmer now

I'm lulled into precious sleep

As the glistening shaft of moonlight

Bathes my pale skin in everlasting light
