The Moon's Sorrow
Pity the Moon!
As it survives only
by the thing it envies.
Pity the Moon!
As it waxes and wanes
merely reflecting the Sun's divine rays.
Pity the Moon!
As it lies in shame
bringing darkness wherever it goes.
Pity the Moon!
As it sees the world during its slumber
fulfilling its duty in the shadows.
Pity the Moon!
As it writhes in pain
longing to be the bringer of light.
