Under a Bankrupt Moon

All I can do now
is crawl
The moon's light
has faded
to black
I search the skies
But there is no track
I wonder the reason why
Will it ever come back?

I'm not an astronomer
or physicist,
So I can't do the math,
But I can surely see
the moon
Has wandered
off it's path

It's either there,
Or it's not,
I can't find it,
So no matter what....

The moon is gone...
Or is my mind?
Either way,
I can not find...
Our shiny neighbor
That looked over us
for eons past..
And so I must...
Think that perhaps 
Time is about to end...
And we on earth
will follow the fate
of our celestial friend.
