It appears to be both; excellent :-)
Clair de Lune was one of my favourite piano pieces to play. For some reason, the moon turned up in another of the prelude poems. It was workshopped on Poets' Graves; many changes were suggested, until people decided they preferred the original after all, lol.
Swirls
That evening, as a full moon rose,
she played their piano for a while –
a tune of subtle swirls and slows –
and he, though ill, began to smile.
She played their piano for a while;
the scent of night-stock wafted in
and he, though ill, began to smile –
an owl outside performed a spin.
The scent of night-stock wafted in
with memories of kinder years;
an owl outside performed a spin;
the sounds were pleasing to his ears.
With memories of kinder years,
a tune of subtle swirls and slows;
the sounds were pleasing to his ears
that evening, as a full moon rose.
