Analysis of The Moon and Me
The glowing moon transcends into another hushing night,
whilst rustling trees are tilting in her silver rays of light.
Simply listening to my secrets by a grin that’s buttoned tight,
she hears my hearts confessions smiling ever so polite.
Surely every starry wink a promise never to recite
every daring want I whisper to the peaceful knowing night.
The admired incandescence of her realm, so black and white,
Is surpassed by morning’s brilliance as she vanishes from sight.
