As I Played Chess With The Moon Poem by Peter Vector

As I am sitting in my bed,
I drift away, dreams running through my head…

And when I have close my eyes,
The places of my mind are lit with starry skies…

As night settles into place,
I dream that I am in the depths of space…

As I played chess with the Moon,
I wonder if the spacecraft should be soon…

We volley our pieces to and fro,
With checks everywhere, he is a daring foe…

And though the people are asleep,
There's so much fun on this moonlit street…

Because we will play the night away,
Till the darkness turn into a new day…

None know who is the winner, clearly,
But I'll still remember it so dearly…

And when I'm alone and by myself,
I may always see that joyous night elf…
