Moonlight

The Moon

Lightens our rooms more

Than the artificial light discovered by faraday

 

The Moon

Stretches her hands by night

Into our rooms

Walking my shadow upon our wall

 

The moon

Standing between the heavens

And the earth

Conquers the night

The moon

Conquers our African night

 

The moon

Captures the wicked

Slugs their legs against the tall African trees

The moon

Watches for the wise.
