[John Atkinson Grimshaw, Silvery Moonlight (1836-1893) public domain, courtesy dVerse Poets Pub]

One Only

Skeletal trees in the dead of night,

Spread beneath a sky in silent awe,

Framing a moon serving her light,

For all to spectacle when outside,

But only one in the dead of night,

Wished  to saunter there outdoors,

For this particular moonlit sight,

Maybe not yet the deep autumn,

This moon though shining bright 

Has had various stories all to tell 

Of one out there in the dead of night.
