The Moon

Up in the distance
The shapes I am in
Suspended
All quiet…
And cold.
I ask a question.
I shed a tear.
I am the moon…
Just waiting here.

I will shine for you
When your daylight is done
To remind you
Of the warmth of the sun.

I reflect the light
And you see on me
The craters and scars
That have affected me.

I foretell your fortunes,
Dance with your seas
Your darkest secrets
Are known only by me.

You raise your head and howl…

Up in the distance
The shapes I am in
Suspended
All quiet…
And cold.
I ask a question.
I shed a tear.
I am the moon…
Just waiting here.
