Satellite in the earths sky
lights up the darkness
as one half swaps the sun with the other
casting its shimmering net over the water
lights up the darkness
as one half swaps the sun with the other
casting its shimmering net over the water
And out of the darkness
from behind the trees and bins
furry shadows are sharpened
by the dusting of light from the moon
from behind the trees and bins
furry shadows are sharpened
by the dusting of light from the moon
Pawprints disperse in the dockside puddles
as suppertime treats await
from the fisherman’s throwaways
as suppertime treats await
from the fisherman’s throwaways
And Moonlight skips over dock and quay
passing over gardens and trees
creating a eerie midnight scene
where once the great ships had been
As moonlight skips over marshmallow clouds
light flickers through the velvet of night
silence only broken
by the nightshift coming home
And as felines feast
Luna keeps watch
till the sound of the cockerel
and return of the sun
The Inkwell
