Oh moonlit night

what do I ask of you

just this

glow in tranquillity

pour your calm

into this restless city

the buildings shout

the street lamps strain

but none of them

can match your quiet reign

sing with the breeze

soft and light

and I will listen

through the length of night

Oh moonlit night

my peers

my dears

are far from sight

so I speak to you

and you listen

silent and bright

Oh moonlit night

what can I write

I am a discomposed poem

no steady verse

no perfect rhyme

just scattered thoughts

searching for time

I want only this

to illuminate the world

the way you do

slowly truly

with the advancing time

with the advancing time

Oh moonlit night
