Moonlight casts wet shadows
from glowing street lamps
along the sleepy sidewalks.
Stars speckle the night sky
keeping guard over all
who rest below.
The cat runs erratically
trying to catch the shadow
that follows him around.
You and I lay intertwined
wrapped in bed sheets
staying cozy and warm.
The night moves along
a persistent passenger train
we're just along for the ride.
The earth whirls round and round
a ballerina en pointe
unknowingly graceful.
We are unaware
shielded from the chaos
by an atmospheric force
of good will and pleasant dreams.
