Moonlight

Moonlight

There is power in moonlight, they say.
All you have to do is bring it to bay.
Wolves howl at the moon when it’s full.
Do they sense something we don’t know?
If we could harness this power somehow.
Would it be beneficial, or cause a rowel?
Fairies dance in the moonlight, it’s said.
Just fictional, or a subject that’s dead?
Moonlight will increase a romantic mood.
Is that good, or will it lead to something lewd?
Moonlight is linked with medicinal potential.
For deadly nightshade plants, is moonlight essential?
Moonlight is praised by song writers and poets.
Are they the only ones who know this?
If you are a creature of the night.
Do you do better in the moonlight?
In a world where magic thrives.
Moonlight would make things come alive.
Moonlight is a reflective light.
Second nature to those of the night.
If you are taken by the wind during a moonlit night,
something is going on that would give most a fright.
So, if moonlight shines in your window at night,
be ready. Peter Pan may be taking flight.
