The Moon... Poem by Jubril Balogun

When the heat is silenced
Coolness descends
Nature is awed
Embraced in its calmness
Oh! Afar she peeps
Tip-toeing mountain tops
Tiny grain of light
Within sunder clouds shines
Funny lovely stranger
Struggling through the blues
Amazed, eyes surrender
Embraced in its view
Beauty, radiant, luster…
Minds are subdued
A full blown essence
Raising captives
Subject to her quintessence
The feeling, the mood…
The peace and the grace
Born of the moon
Prying eyes are never mine
Trying Adams stand confused
Sweet moon, full moon…
