Moon Half Empty
Often in solace of the night
The stars far from mortal reach
Mocking me they feel to be
For long have I wished
The ethereal form
Ethereal I am not
Nor will I become
No matter endless nights
Cowardice action
And Cowardice inaction
Stars begin to fall
Stars themselves lie
Wished on a star
Yet wished upon ethereal masses
My final words,
My mournful woes, unnoticed go
The stars dwindle
As the night grows longer still
Vessel half empty
Yet filled past its brim
The night is at its peak
The stars…
What stars?
There is but a moon half empty
There I stand
Amidst the night
Lost
Unnoticed
Searching
For a moon half full.
