When the night calls the moon
To shine its bright light
And illuminate its darkness,
So that the night can see,
The dogs howl in chorus.
The cats meeting their mates.
The spirits roaming in the wild.
The stars blinking in unison.
The lake flowing in silence.
The trees dancing to the tune of the wind.
The houses sleeping.
The nature resting.
And the night celebrating,
The light of the moon.
