What Nonsense is this?

 

I see the moon, the moon sees me but she sees more than I can see.

I am earth bound I cannot fly but she serenely floats on high

 and bathes world in silver light. Which can relieve the darkest night.

She grants to all men equally, sufficient light for them to see.

The cloak of darkness does not hide, lying in wait for prey outside

 werewolves, vampires, ghosts and ghouls. The flying predators are owls,

that haunt the night on noiseless wings in search of mice and smaller things.

The silver moonlight reassures to some extent but does not cure.

ancestral fears. Although far fetched are nonetheless so deeply etched

 in the collective memories of human kind. The vague unease

which is still felt by men today when darkness falls and night holds sway.

Of course does not apply to us, just to the superstitious.

The gracious moon deserves this accolade and you done a masterful job delivering it....Not nonsense, indeed.

Nice visual you have created witht he moon shining light and the world of night the owls on the hunt silently through the night. The uneasiness of night, because that is the time we try to get away with things, in the dark, I guess it is for the supertitious.

Good write.
