Suddenly I was awake <br />Wide-awake like I had never gone to sleep <br />And the face of the clock at my bedside <br />Showed me the twelfth night watchman <br />Had gone by <br /> <br />I looked outside through the window <br />And the silence of the moonlight called to me <br />I went out into the stillness of the night <br />And oh! Oh! Oh! What a beaut, <br />Oh! What a beaut <br /> <br />In the clear night sky <br />The moon in sheer brilliance <br />Was sitting on her throne <br />And like a virgin bride, <br />she was fully clothed in white <br />and all but the lordly stars <br />were bowing to her in reverence <br /> <br />I stood there, caught in that moment <br />Lost in the wonder to one of God’s creations <br />I felt so humbled that, <br />I too bowed to that heavenly presence.<br /><br />Mpho Petrus Manwedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-moon-10/
