The Moon and I

The sun brings joy
And light and mirth
The moon, she tries
For all she's worth

Shut out of the day
Confined to the night
She longs for the sun
With all it's light

But the sun shines on
It's not what it seems
The moon surely does not
Want to put out her beams

The moon is lost
Lost at sea
Her ship overturned
An unheard plea

When at last the sun sleeps
And the world along with it
The moon creeps out
Needless of writ

She outstretches her hands
Silver light flows forth
To her left the south
Her right the north

Her watery light
Is all but forgotten
And her mind wanders
Why was she begotten?

The moon is lost
Lost at sea
Her ship overturned
An unheard plea

The sun returns
With all its acclaim
The moon slips away
Her silvery tears proclaim:

"Oh I long for upheaval;
That I should shine
And the sun could feel
The woes that are mine!"

Her cries are ignored
The sun shines as ought
And nobody sees
The moon's beams she wrought

The moon is lost
Lost in the sky
We're one and the same
The moon and I.
