Night's World Below

by Rikki Mumm
Poetry
The sky is black, pitch pitch black
Luminous soft glowing moon hanging
Stars like diamonds strewn across
Ocean black distorted images below

Standing staring out the window
The world I see beyond at two
Late late night early early morn
Sleep has fled insomnia binds

Staring beyond at the horizon
A world not seen by all
Beauty in night darkness surrounding
Dreams living out there alive in your mind

Soft basting moonlight on the ground
Illuminating only enough to see
Sun rise coming couple hours more
My private world lost to light

Sky pitch pitch black hanging glowing moon
Stars are diamonds strewn dark ocean below
Images wavy distorted in the water
Window second story staring at the world below
