Poem Title: Nighttime’s Tale

I found a crooked sixpence beneath a silver star,
It glimmered in the moonlight as I followed from afar;
The wind it gently sang to me, a tune both sweet and clear,
And in its voice I heard a song that only children hear.
The trees stood tall, their branches bent to hear the nighttime’s tale,
Of dancing lanterns in the dark, and bees that drink moon pale.
Beware, young dreamer, guard your heart; keep magic in your sight—
For stars will guide you through the night, and turn your fear to light.
