Oh! Moon, Shine Your Light : Monotetra

Your love is the pure silver white,

Enchanting the earth every night,

Showering flowers of delight,

Oh! shine your light, oh! shine your light.

She waits for you, counting the hours,

For the night, like a moonflower,

To bloom under your love’s power,

With smiling stars, with smiling stars.

You were very successful in rocking the prompt, producing a lovely piece, devoid of dark vibes. I enjoyed it.
