    Moon Above Light Within

    A Bright Moon in Mid-Sky : Night in the Lecture Theatre

    A melon slice of moon has climbed
    to float above those bush-wrapped hills
    that blacken now with sudden-falling night.

    Some unvoiced feeling in me craves
    the light, the warmth within
    a college building and its glow.

    Human, we read and chat and sleepˇX
    then, rapt, push scraps of scenes from life
    to drift on the secret river of a dreamˇX
    beneath that self-effacing wanderer, our moon.
