Moonlight filters effortlessly,
Drifting through the window panes,
Illuminating everything with it's eerie glow.

My eyes struggle to stay closed
As I fight to sleep as I know I should.
The pale light calls
And the cold shadows cast
Are too peacefull to remain unseen.

The full moon lights the darkened world
Almost as if the sun were about to rise.
The trees sway slightly in the passing breeze
And the silence of the night seems almost mystical.

I can feel the magic in the air
As if any moment, it's very substance would burst,
Scattering the power in all directions
Unable to hold it all.

I wonder if I shall ever sleep tonight
The air around me is alive
And for once I can feel it.
With each breath,
With each movement,
No matter how small,
I can feel it surround me.

And so I choose not to sleep
I choose to feel the magic
And I immerse myself in that feeling
As the moon continues her steady gaze.
