In the Light Of Night

In the Light of Night

 

Mum, what I see is really real

I’m not a walrus or a seal

This night’s sky’s glowing and alive

Clear as yesterday’s midday drive

Look up there, through the old red gum

I’m not making things up Mum!

 

Look up there, where blackness was a sea

The man in the moon was laughing at me

Then I saw his hungry moon eat the dark

And spit out the stars as red bark

 

Don’t worry son, I’ll stay with you tonight

The angry bushfires have turned on their sky lights
