The moon whispers nightly prayers
before the sun awakes to overflow the day with light
The moon is the stars storyteller and
sings a lullaby to bring all children to a slumber
It witnesses all night activity
as a sliver of silver in the sky
The moon brings restless animals
to their hunting hour and
see all lowering their sleepy eyelids.

The last verse I would prefer to be separated into 2 verses - the first one about the hunting hour, then the next one about lowering sleepy eylids, but add another line, so it has 2 lines like the others.

Anyways back to the question i would have to say they are both great but i like the 2nd. the 2nd seems to jump out at me like the night has been captured in this poem. I would say keep writing! there is a site www.poetry.com and you can summit your own poetry. you might even have your poem published.
anyways i like the 2nd.
sincerely
