---

By the light of the moon I see what others don't.

The wind ushers me forth upon clandestine trails.

I traverse the byways of midnight.

The mirky limbs of trees embrace me,

Their leaves whisper their welcome.

Wings of nocturne dissever the besilvered sky.

The beasts of night chitter their secrets to me alone,

And the glittering stars guide my way.

I heed the shadows dancing.

I divine the morrow through a snowflake's shimmer.

Far from all, the night and I are kin.
