Crossing In the Night
With Near a Full Moon on the Lake

Looking back
Mist plays in moonlight
As the oarsman hums a song,
Peering back
To see your house light
But he has rowed me too long,
The dark shore shadows
Hidden beneath the bare trees
Skeletons that glows
Dancing with the breeze,
Gone away,
To destiny’s hands
Carrying fists full of rage,
Far away
To another’s land
At the whim of my wise liege,
The boat arrives there
Across the calm moon kissed lake,
Sun rise is now there
As the leaving road I take.

An exquisite crossing, this...
I shall watch under the moon's bright eye
this night
for the traveler...

This certainly must be the night for dreams.
I really enjoyed this poem, Gloom

I see you are becoming somewhat of a knight owl...or is that night...
