Mind wanders listlessly as
Sleep evades my eyes

Moonlit nights indeed affect the psyche. The Latin term ‘Lunacy’ doesn’t really mean crazy. It is derived from Luna and means ‘affected by moon’. Moon is considered a thief in various mythologies. So, what’s more natural for it than steal one’s sleep?
Beautiful and poignant!
