the moon

She comes after sunset

To welcome the night

She calls to those

That play at midnight

She’s just a starry night 

Compared to anything bright

When you look at her shimmer 

Everything else shatters

Alone she sits in the sky 

Guiding those who need her light

Sheltering those whose hearts that cry

But keeping herself locked up tight

How incredible is the moon

Shining brightly in the night sky

But hiding herself at dawn

So you’ll never know if she cries

I’ll tell you once and only once

The story of the moon

Who cries at dawn

But smiles through the night
