The Man in the Moon
Illuminating. The night skies
the Man in the Moon smiling down on you
watching the world with brand new eyes
sight in evening darkness, savor the view
at day a pool of Adam's ale
now a vanity for the face that shines
Sun goes down, new beauty unveils
the light of night reveals his grand design
those cryptic shadows on the wall?
marvelous murals of inspiration
lunar frescoes, ignored by all
who slumber in oblivious fashion
a real artist, all through and through
a secret, unappreciated boon
its time to give the credit due
with this stanza to the man in the moon.

marvelous murals of inspiration
lunar frescoes, ignored by all
who slumber in oblivious fashion
a real artist, all through and through
a secret, unappreciated boon
its time to give the credit due
with this stanza to the man in the moon.
