Moonlit Reflections

The moonlight beams upon the clouds tonight

Amongst the shapes, I see the bison strong

My mind recalls this creature's bulky might

The billow vanishes before too long

Compelled to scream my words of poetry

To any open mind or willing ear

My voice with fury vents my misery

And still the world ignores my presence here

The bison once again do I behold

And do they thunder fast across the plains

In sorrow wonder I what would unfold

Should I decide to join in their refrain

Among the multitudes, I have no place

And all I know is melancholy's grace.
