Satin Black sky revels in wind and moon Cold cold moon, craters and valleys showin’ Walkin’ in moonshine Shadows of the evening Crawlin’ across the fences Stabs of white core light as stars Glint like fireflies in the Amazon Rushing forces benign entities Feel the power of movement The mass’s tranquillity Stone rock dust orbiting swiftly Though we perceive only The slightest move – yet ice cream clouds Scud blithely onwards on to oblivion The speed confounds the weighty orb.
Though the darkest satin like night Can cast the deepest shadows What can but a night hide from us? Among moonbeams stars streams Did I see a face Of nature that stetches the mind We relive the fears That stretch way back in time We link up with the past We realise that cavemen spied The wonder of moon, wind and the black satin night.
