Silvery moon
Silvery moon hidden behind a veil of clouds, 
 Like a beautiful mistress peeking from behind velvet curtains,
 Now you see her,
 Now you don’t.
 
 Silvery blade hidden within a wall of plastic,
 Like a caged weapon of destruction demanding release.
 Now you see it,
 Now you don’t.
 
 Silvery branches move with ease in the wind,
 Like a child being gently rocked to sleep,
 Swaying here,
 Swaying there.
 
 Silvery surface of the lake shimmer with reflections,
 Like a mirror that shows too much,
 What you know,
 What you don’t.
 
 Silvery droplet lands softly, unnoticed on a sleeve,
 Like the first raindrop, unwanted.
 Now it’s here,
 Now it’s not.
 
 Silvery sillouette leans forward carelessly,
 Like a reckless child or a despairing drunk.
 Now she’s here,
 Now she’s gone.
