The waning moon settles in for a nights sleep.

Lights Out 

The moon draws the clouds around his shoulders, 

Like a sleepy baby pulling the covers close. 

He opens his mouth in a tiny yawn, 

And all the stars float out, 

One by one they march into their places. 

The moon is satisfied. 

Finally he rests his weary orb on the softest star; 

His pillow for the long night ahead.
