Midnight Silver.

Written 2017-05-08

Miles and miles stretches the dark deep night

Silent and magical and calm

The wise old owl , sits deep in thought

The look saying the wisest I am ...

Diamonds sparkle in the ancient treasure chest

 In the castle of the sky  

Arrogant and without a lock ,

The moon guards it with a look so sly ...

He seems to smile so daringly ,

None could touch or feel

The celestial beauties shining free ,

To their grandeur we would kneel .

Proudly he glances around ,

I am the wealthiest without a doubt

With milion diamonds in my care

 Why should i sulk and Pout ...

Just then there was the slighest murmur From the mortal down below

His gaze so easily shifted ...

From the treasures with the blinding glow .

There humble and meek she stood    

Shy and pretty , pure and serene ,

The midnight lily now awake

Her radiance innocent and clean

The starry treasure fading now

Before a beauty so serene

 The greatest wealth , the greatest treasure

 Innocence has always been !!!
