Original Submission by Oratile Mokgojoa

Moonlit dream

As the sun falls, the moon appears

With its beauty, followed by the bright stars in the sky

I fall asleep to dream, a dream that's soothing to the mind & soul

Under the moon's gentle light, I wander along the beach

With the ocean, which reflects the stars

Quietly listening to the waves, as they crash along the shoreline

Tranquilizing the occupied mind, while gazing upon the beauty of Luna

The world is hushed, a peaceful sight

As the moon's soft beams illuminate the night

My heart is calm, my spirit free

In harmony with nature, wild and carefree

In this serene and dreamlike state

I find my worries, slowly start to abate

The moon's gentle light, a balm to my soul

Fills me with peace, making me whole
