Oh Moon, oh goddess;
why do you weep?
I know too well of your lonliness.
I know too well about the darkness that surrounds you.
Little light lingers from the end of a day.
The same light that approaches you.
It shuns you, pushes you away.
You believe nobody sees you, but
I know many who admire your
shimmery shine.
Plenty look to your silent beauty.
Oh how the stars are yours and nobody else's.
For they are just as dazzling;
yet you outshine them all.
The glimmer even at a glance of a sliver of you
is enough to allow a decadent sigh.

Oh Moon, oh goddess;
why do you weep?
I know too well of your lonliness.
I know too well about the darkness that surrounds you.
Little light lingers from the end of a day.
The same light that approaches you.
It shuns you, pushes you away.
You believe nobody sees you, but
I know many who admire your
shimmery shine.
Plenty look to your silent beauty.
Oh how the stars are yours and nobody else's.
For they are just as dazzling;
yet you outshine them all.
The glimmer even at a glance of a sliver of you
is enough to allow a decadent sigh.
