What nonsense is this for M'Lady Nassira

poem

 

 

 

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.

Beautiful. I like the ,,melodical,, way you penned it haha :) .
It's great how so many things can burst from one single idea : ,, I see the moon, the moon sees me but she sees more than I can see. ,,
Kowel stuff.
