Here  
Light is soft and cool  
as we gaze and laze on the water  
Drifting slowly in an almost windless night  
An almost endless night  
even slower than the gentle breeze  
in trees around the mere  

There  
High above  
The Moon looks fully  
at the stark sunlight  
Its face  
blistering in airless waste  
While we below  
are oblivious to its pain  

It's all for us, my darling  
All for us

An artful illustration of the pathetic fallacy, lance, that even so manages to be a sweet poem.
