I am the moon

I am the moon,
shining in the dark night sky.
Watching over everyone beneath me.
with me are my friends, who are the stars.

I see a rushing waterfall
and two birds flying home.
The sun is disappearing
and the wispy clouds are slowly moving.

Right now everything is still like a statue
except for the flowing waterfall
and the seagulls gracefully landing
in their nest.
In the morning time,
the blazing sun
will rise once again,
and I will disappear
until tomorrow's night.
