The Last Day of the Moon

Today the moon is but a speck,

A little glitter in the sky.

I want to see the moon

One last time, one more.

So I turn to mind, the tall one.

I ask what I should do.

He tells me to stay in the

Gray room.

He says to forget about 

The moon, not to reach.

Unsatisfied, I ask body, the strong one.

He tells me to reach for

The moon and follow my

Heart.

My heart is the key.

It took me a while to figure out body's ending riddle.

But I have figured out how 

To open the bloody door.

I walk up to the door,

With the boards covered in blood.

And I say for all of the gray walls to hear:

I love her.

I watch as the boards fall,

And the blood melts away.

The door swings open,

Revealing the surface of

The moon.

I walk onto the moon,

I kneel down and pick up some white sand,

When I look up there she is,

The lady on the moon,

My moon.

She is wearing a white dress,

Almost as white as the sand,

Or her pale skin.

Her eyes pierce my emotion,

And I just want to stare into them.

With her magical voice

She says:

"Oh, It's you."

I am very confused.

She stands before me,

Almost surprised that I came for her.

Then from behind her

Comes a bulky white space suit.

The man within removes his helmet

And kisses my moon Hello.

I see that I am too late.

I can't reach for the moon.

It would be cruel to

Steal the moon from who reached her first.

I turn my back on

The moon and the space man.

I walk into the gray.

Laying in the last sliver of light

Is a note reading:

Only these walls will love you

Forever.

I finally give up as the gray fills the

Last bit of color.

The gray world has back their God.
