A Sailor's Moon

A sailors moon
reddened with lost love
scarlet in sorrow
serenading deaths victims
in a desperate plea for them to come home

A sailors moon
dark with the desperation of lovers
a farewell speech
a fleeting mirage of familiarity
a forgotten fragility of the heart

A sailors moon
cold and cumbersome
heavy and burdensome
only to be lifted with the light of day
