Moonless Night

Attempt at monotetra. Floating on a moonless night.

Staring out at the moonless night
I saw the darkness shining bright.
As crickets swooned I thought I might.
Watching the sight. Watching the sight.

The darkness draped me like a coat.
The sky itself, it seemed to gloat
While I swayed in my little boat.
And there I float. And there I float.

Nature's beauty brought me to tears.
Serenity released my fears.
I could have stayed there all my years.
Not having cares. Not having cares.

While I pondered the day awoke.
A punchline to a sad, sad joke.
A wave reached up, gave me a soak.
I lost night's cloak. I lost night's cloak.
