The white orb

Solitary and pretty she rises over the world

Spreading her radiance into the dark abyss

Feeble though it is, lights the step of the weary traveller

The weary journey just got a whole lot brighter

She smiles with pride on her twinkling children

And peeps into windows kissing earthly infants

She blesses the couples in love taking a walk

And spreads her glow in joy unbound

I admire her from my bedroom window

Full round and pure in pearly white

She’s the last thing I see as my eyes close

Smiling as she kisses me good night.
