Nighttime Light

I.
In moonlight and star-shine,
long shadows embraced me,
and I went to the window, following
a light only I could see.

II.
Tall trees—your home.
Little spriteling aglow.
I wandered the forest’s skirts with you,
safe beneath your lead,
exploring the nature-side of night.

III.
Tucked back in warmth before the morn,
I slept best after my feet touched earth,
and nighttime light
kissed my crown to sleep.
