goodnight moonlight

I stand on the moon
to turn out the lights
one

by

one

a pinch of my fingers
and darkness comes
soon

there’s

none

the stars that twinkled
have gone to sleep
a hug and a kiss
their dreams to keep

the flickering sky
is safe in bed
hush hush and goodnight
my sleepy head

I stand on the moon
to turn out the lights
one

by

one

and soon

there’s

none
