Moonlight Mist
A light transcends from heaven to earth
Crystal shards enter my room
Giving off an incandescent glow.
I awaken from a quiet slumber
And gaze out the window.
The moon is in full bloom.
Ethereal beams cascade silently downward.
The lake reflects the moonlight mist
Into my soul.
Peaceful sleep comes quickly
Promising eternal rest.
