Moon Smile
By rauffray
Moon SmileThe moon is bright this night.It seems to smile sardonically At meAnd tufts of brittle grass in frozen fields of snow.And in the woods nearby,Its cold shine greets the bony branchesOf skeletal winter trees.Its spectral moon beams cast shadowsUnder these sleeping sentinels.So still and silent is the nightThat footsteps crushing snowSeem almost sacrilegious -A sin to spoil the stillness and the snow.I turn my footsteps homewardAnd as I do it seems I feel the cold moon sneerAnd hear a quiet sighFrom hushed and speechless sentries.
