Stepping
on stars,
she
waves her black hair,
and opens her shiny jars.
Descending
down stair,
murmuring
songs in peace,
she
waves her black hair.
With
heaven and earth at ease,
basking
under night’s glory,
murmuring
songs in peace.
Night
moon visualizing this story,
dancing
along warm breeze,
basking
under night’s glory.
Moon
rays shimmering, absorbing freeze,
tripping
on waves,
dancing
along warm breeze.
Night
queen brightens dark caves,
stepping
on stars,
tripping
on waves,
and opens her shiny jars.
