The Shimmering Moon

I love to watch the moon shining through the clouds while in bed at night.

Lying in my bed I gaze at the moon,

Silently shimmering in its sleepy lagoon.

A silver orb peeping through a light streaked sky,

Silhouetting the trees as it passes on high.

Below on the ground haunting shadows are cast

As tiny white clouds float hastily past,

All beautifully framed in my window pane,

One moment there and then gone again.

Then as calmly into the distance it creeps

The serenity lulls me into peaceful sleep.

I wish I could see the moon from my bed. I can only see tree tops. I remember when I placed my pillow in the window when I went to bed so I could see the moon. Loved your poem.
