Mystic moonlight

In the pale white light cast by the Full Moon,The pond shimmered and shone,Every ripple momentarily distortingThe lone white Orb in the dark night skyThe night-blooming jasmine slowly bloomed,Shyly peeking up at her knight in shining armour They admired each other from afarEvery day, the white prince roamed the night skyWaxing and waning, until he's …
