Nights in Black Satin

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.
