sleeping soundly 

and then a lantern from the sky 

lights its way across the moon

it says

wake up! this is something you’ll want to see

i do and turn to see the moon

still in the sky

accompanied by stars

light fluffy clouds drifting past

the moon says

yes, you can sleep too

i will watch over you

until the early morning 

slowly diving down past the horizon 

and out of view

it disappears until another night when it climbs across the sky

but in my sleep it was so bright

i thought it was morning once again
