Moonlight dance

In the hush of the midnight dance
The bush dreams, the moon is pale
Where bush dirt and shadows blend
A dunnart scurries through the night
A speck of life where night winds curve
Tiny creature emerges in the moonlight
Immense black eyes, light soft fur
The bush leaves slur a lullaby
Dunnart looks for prey
Moving with grace, a silent dance
The bush holds its breath
A ballet of the wild
As the sun rises
The world waits for the morning's grace
The horizon blushes softly,
Murmur of light awakening the dark
