After Hours

When the sun makes the hills its grave

And the moon comes out to play

I sit and reflect on what happened that day

That week

Or even that year

Then the clouds sweep me up 

And wipe my tears

I jump on the sky

And swing from the stars 

I pull on the moon

And dance on mars

And it is every night 

When I’m feeling sad

That the sky reminds me that it’s not so bad.

Victoria, your metaphors make the moon sound delightful. "I jump on the sky And swing from the stars I pull on the moon And dance on mars" nice one.
