Sometimes the moon
Shines Silvery white
Sometimes it’s dull
Like a distant wife

Sometimes it’s just
Like a tiny sliver
A thin blade cutting
The cloudy river

Once in a while
Hypnotically cool
it holds you tight
In a endless gaze

And As you stare
With a frozen mind
You start floating
Amidst the stars.
