My Midnight Silver

by Navy Blue Heart   May 29, 2006


The moon emits its unearthly glow
Falling, falling, falling
Until its alien opal
Cakes the world below.

Trees surround the meadow I lie in
Restricting, restricting, restricting
Impenetrable like prison bars
Guarding. Defying

My freedom and yet protecting me
Hiding, hiding, hiding
And the silken night bestows a mask.
I shed my midnight silver.
