The moon is known for a mysterious elixir that she produces People down on Earth bow and worship the almighty queen, more than her husband, Helios The moon expresses her satisfaction: merrily guzzling down a goblet of juice from Neptune stirred with milk from Saturn, with a little pinch of the stars
A little tipsy she becomes, hiccupping and giggling through the night As she is befuddled, she starts to explode in light so radiant Slowly, she starts to vibrate and tremble and rumble and wobble With the last of her strength, she lets out a cloud full and heavy of her emotions The lady produced a cloud full of silvery light
The light turned to a heavy liquid, a concoction when it reached Earth People gathered buckets and cauldron to capture the birth of the tears The people gathered the mixture and boiled it over their hearth It bubbled and foamed and dripped from the sides with no care
Excitement and zeal shook the universe One by one everyone peered into their cauldrons filled with the tears for it bubbled no more There it was the tears of the moon, so pearlescent that it swirled around like a galaxy The smell so heavenly but heavy that no one can describe Goblets raised and heads lifted, the earthlings drained the liquid down their parched throats Like butter, it was, so smooth that no one could feel the liquid against their windpipes
The liquid that looked so precious Looked like a potion filled with gifts and fortunes and magic But it wasn’t This was a cauldron full of the moon’s agony and hurt and regrets and burden A sip would hurt a mortal but a cupful You’re dead The mortals fell one by one for possessing all of the moon’s pain was just too much
