Oh So Long Ago

Tonight I looked up at the moon
And saw through tired eyes
A globe of silver high and free
Carried throughout the skies

Yesterday I looked down
And saw set in the snow
A thousand stars just twinkling
Like they did so long ago

Did I used to see this way?
Was life always so full?
Was everything this beautiful
Oh so long ago?

Years ago when I was young
When stars shone brighter than the sun
But now I scarecely stop to look
Like oh so long ago.

So apparently I CAN barf poetry when I'm tired and frustrated.
